Annual report showing the Trade of Canada for the year ending March 31, 1920.-Sir George Foster.
Statement signed by Messrs. Cook and Lynch of the Editorial Committee, in reference to the destruction of Printing Bureau documents.-Sir George Foster.
Report of Mail Steamship subventions.- Sir George Foster.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Hon. CHARLES MURPHY (Russell):: I would like to ask the Prime Minister three brief questions:	First, has Lord
Byng been appointed Governor General of Canada? Second, if so, was the Government officially advised of the fact before the press despatches announcing the appointment were received; Third, if Lord Byng has been appointed, is the right hon. gentleman able to tell us whether His Lordship has had any political or parliamentary experience apart from his military experience?


Right Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN (Prime Minister):: Answering the first question- as to the appointment; I duly received information that His Majesty had been pleased to approve of the appointment of Lord Byng as Governor General of Canada and that the announcement would be made in the press this morning. The answer to the second question is, " Yes". In answer to the third question, there is every reason to believe that Lord Byng has all the qualifications, including a knowledge of political matters, required for the.-office.



THE MANDATE FOR NAURU

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (leader of the Opposition):: I asked the Minister of Justice a day or two ago a question in regard to the disposition to be made of the reserves of high-grade phosphates on the Island of Nauru, and he promised to let me know if there was any agreement, to which Canada was a party, under the provisions of the mandate assumed by the British Empire in respect of that island.

/


Hon. C. J. DOHERTY (Minister of Justice) :: It is quite true. The hon. gentleman did make an inquiry as to whether there had been any agreement on the part of Canada with regard to the mandate for the island of Nauru. I then said my very strong impression was there had been no agreement on the subject, and in looking into the matter I find that that impression was correct-there was no agreement to which Canada was a party, with regard to the mandate for Nauru. The mandates were conferred by the principal allied and associated powers. That for Nauru was conferred upon His Majesty, designated in the mandate as His Britannic Majesty, who has undertaken to exercise it on behalf of the League of Nations. The .mandate so conferred in so far as it may be considered to be conferred upon a country, is, as I understand it, conferred upon Great Britain. Canada expressed no desire to be granted a mandate for any of the countries for which mandatories were appointed.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I do not think my right hon. friend has quite covered the point that I had particularly in mind. I believe it is quite true that the mandate was conferred as he says. I am not so sure, however, that it has been conferred in the name of Great Britain for the British Empire.


Charles Joseph Doherty: Upon His Britannic
Majesty.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: If I may be permitted for a minute, I would like to give a quotation from the British Hansard which may throw some light on the situation.


Mr. SPEAKER:: I have no doubt the
House will give unanimous consent, at this late stage of the session, so as to enable the hon. member to give the reference he wishes.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: 
Right Hon.   S@: The hon. gentleman is quite mistaken. The matter stands in such a position that if it ever became one of practical importance Canada could have her share of these phosphates as well as the other portions of the British Empire to which allusion has been made. Difficulty arose in the first place by reason of the action of New Zealand, but the controversy was settled by giving a mandate for the British Empire to the United Kingdom. The arrangement then made is being carried out. I have not heard of any demand from this country for the purchase of phosphates from Nauru. If the question should become one of practical importance I have no doubt it can be regulated so as to meet any demands from this country.



PRIVILEGE-MR. LAPOINTE

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Mr. ERNEST LAPOINTE (Quebec East) :: My attention has been drawn to
the report of some remarks I made on May 31, on the Bill to Amend the Dominion Elections Act, as to the power of a Judge to appoint a substitute. I am reported in Hansard as having said:
There has been an election qui-te recently in the province from which I come. The judge happened to be sitting for the judicial district in

which the constituency was situated and he appointed a certain gentleman as revising officer. Now, I do not say anything against him.
I know him very well; he was a colleague of mine in this House, and was a member of . this Government after 1911.
That is one statement. Now, I am reported to have said further:
He was a candidate at the last election, in 1917 ; he was the mover of the resolution which nominated one of the candidates at a convention of this party.
In order to remove any misapprehension which might arise I wish to explain that the first part of my remarks applies to the Judge in question and the latter part to the substitute.



SUB-ARCTIC REGIONS- MUSK OX AND REINDEER

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Mr. J. A. CAMPBELL (Nelson) :: Some
time ago the Prime Minister laid on the Table the report of the Royal Commission appointed to investigate the possibility of breeding musk ox and reindeer in the subarctic regions of Canada. Certain recommendations were made in that report, and I would now like to ask the right hon. gentleman if the Government proposes to carry out those recommendations in the near future?


Arthur Meighen: The report, with the evidence supporting it, forms a very voluminous and very valuable document, highly creditable to the chairman and members of the commission and indicating that the utmost possible care and the highest possible thought have been exercised by them in the investigation. On account of its size,. however, and the fact that it has only been in our hands for a few days, the Government has not come to any conclusion as to whether those recommendations will be followed, and if so, when. I would have liked, myself, if they could be followed in the time contemplated by the report. One recommendation has already been followed -in regard to the utilization of certain lands. The matter is receiving consideration through the Minister of the Interior.
EMBARGO AGAINST CANADIAN CATTLE	'
On the Orders of the Day:


Mr. PIUS MICHAUD (Restigouche) :: I would like to ask the leader of the Government if the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Tolrnie) will accompany him to London, and if so whether the question of the embargo on Canadian cattle will be taken up by the British Government?


Arthur Meighen: Tire answer to both questions is "Yes". His purpose, and I believe his chief purpose in going, is to seek to advance the interests of Canada in the matter.



DISTRICT ENGINEER'S OFFICES- EDMONTON

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Mr. MICHAEL CLARK (Red Deer) :: I would like to ask the Government if it is the case that the district engineer's office in the Department of Public Works at Edmonton has been closed, while three similar offices are being kept open in British Columbia. The closing of the Edmonton office would mean that all works of that nature would have to be referred to Winnipeg. If it is the case, does not the Government think that is rather a discrimination against the province of Alberta?


Arthur Meighen: I cannot answer
the question direct-


Michael Clark: I should be
very glad of an assurance from my right hon. friend that he will look into the matter?


Arthur Meighen: Yes. I can say
this:	There has been a reduction in the
number of engineering offices with a view to saving expense, and if the Edmonton office is one Of those closed it is in pursuance of that policy. Even though the Edmonton office were closed I apprehend there would be one open at Calgary. However, the matter will be carefully looked into.


Michael Clark: Will my
right hon. friend give me the assurance that he will look into the matter of discrimination by reason of there being three offices in British Columbia?


Arthur Meighen: Yes.



PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS


[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Hon. CHARLES MARCIL (Bonaven-ture) :: I desire to ask the Prime Minister
if he does not think that one of the three inscriptions on the tower of this building should be in French, seeing that French * is one of the official languages of this country?


Arthur Meighen: I may say that my knowledge

of this matter of the inscriptions on the tower is meagre. In fact I did not know that there were to be any inscriptions until I found some difficulty in reading one. I will bring the matter to the attention of the minister (Mr. McCurdy) again. I think it deserves consideration.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I am informed that
the Building Committee have ordered these inscriptions be removed.


Ernest Lapointe: That would be the
best thing to do.



RETIREMENT OF CIVIL SERVANTS

[Stage Direction]
Consideration of the amendments made by the Senate to Bill 107 to amend the Act to provide for the retirement of certain members of the public service.
Arthur Meighen: The Senate amendment is to Section 2 of the Bill which reads as fellows:
Paragraph b of section 1 of the said Act is repealed, and the following substituted therefor :-
(b) "officer" means any officer, clerk, or employee who is employed in the public service and who receives a stated annual salary, and any officer, clerk or employee in the said service who has been continuously employed from year to year for a period of not less than an average of six months in each year-
And so forth. The Senate have changed the last words to read "for a portion of each year." I beg to move concurrence in the amendment.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

[Stage Direction]
Consideration of amendment made by the Senate to Bill No. 140 to amend the Patent Act.
Sir GEORGE FOSTER:: The amendment consists of an addition to section 5 to this effect:
The privileges set forth in this section, in so far as regards payment of fees on patents already obtained and lapsed by reason of nonpayment of such fees are hereby granted only in favour of nationals and residents of Canada, but the Governor in Council may extend the same favour to citizens or subjects of all countries which have extended, or which now extend, or which within the period of six months from the passage of this Act shall extend substantially reciprocal privileges to citizens and nationals of Canada.
The Minister of Justice and the Commissioner of Patents have agreed to this amendment and I now propose that it be accepted.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
[Hr. Melghen.]

[Stage Direction]
On the motion of Sir Henry Drayton the House again went into Committee of Supply, Mr. Boivin in the Chair.
['Let me congratulate\nonce more my right hon. friend and the country too.\nResolution reported and concurred in.']
The CHAIRMAN:: Items 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258 and 259 were held over last night by special request.


Ernest Lapointe: I had intended
making some remarks about the administration of the Department of Labour, but it is now very late in the session, and to-day being Saturday I could not make those remarks before the Speaker left the Chair. I will therefore confine myself to registering a protest against the Minister of Labour-


Arthur Meighen: The hon, gentleman is in error. The Speaker leaves the Chair on Saturday just as on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday-on motion.


Ernest Lapointe: I thought the order on Saturday was the same as on Friday.


Arthur Meighen: Yes, but the rule does not apply. Mr. Speaker put the motion.


Ernest Lapointe: My misconception of the procedure will result in shortening the remarks I had intended to offer. I will now confine myself to registering a protest against the Department of Labour being administered by a gentleman who sits in the Senate. The Minister of Labour should be a member of the House of Commons. He represents labour, he represents democracy; he should be elected by the people. To my mind it is a piece of nonsense that the Minister of Labour should be a member of the Senate. I do not think that in Great Britain anybody would think of the representative! of labour in the Government being seated in the House of Lords. When you remember the fact, that ore of the planks in the platform of the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada- which according to the Minister of Labour himself is the only channel through which the opinions of labour should be expressed 

is the abolition of the Senate the presence of the Minister of Labour in the Upper Chamber becomes a joke and would appear to be an insult to Canadian labour men. '
This is the theoretical side of the question. In practice it leads to many inconveniences and abuses. Questions regarding labour and the industrial peace of this country, and the relations between employers and employees are perhaps the most important problems which the Minister of Labour has

to face to-day; and surely it is of the utmost importance that he should be a member of this House in order to discuss those questions with the representatives of the people. This gentleman is going about the country electioneering and, at times, misrepresenting members of this House, and I for one would like to have him face me in this chamber that I might have the opportunity to discuss with him here questions relating to Canadian labour. I content myself now with simply registering this protest, and I hope that before long the labour men of the Dominion will have their representative in this House, for to this they, as well as the public at large, are entitled.


Arthur Meighen: I need only say at first that I do not think the labour people of Canada will feel very keenly about the subject so long as the present Minister of Labour is at the head of the department, even though he is a member of the Senate. I know he represents labour, I know he represents democracy, and I know that democracy is chiefly answerable to the House of Commons; but everybody is entitled to he represented here just as much as labour, or any other section of democracy. If there is any special reason why the Minister of Labour should be a member of this House, it is much more than overcome by the special qualifications of the present incumbent of the office. I do not think, however, that it is fair to him to say that he goes about the country misrepresenting members of the House. I do not know a public man who is more careful of his acts and utterances than the Minister of Labour, or one who-to quote the language I used yesterday-is more temperate and moderate in his statements.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I would like
to ask my right hon. friend a question regarding the administration of the fair wages branch of the Department of Labour. What I wish to ascertain is whether the Department of Labour is receiving from the other departments of Government that have to do with construction work, requests for the insertion of the fair-wages schedule in the different contracts that are entered into from time to time-particularly by the Department of Public Works, the Department of Marine and Fisheries, the Post Office Department, and the Militia Department. It has been understood for a number of years that these different departments should consult with the Department of Labour and have the fair-wages officer of the latter department prepare the schedules
in question for insertion in the several contracts. I am informed that that practice has been departed from to a certain extent in the case of some departments, and that such departments now have their own officers preparing these schedules and ignoring the officers of the Department of Labour. I would like to know whether that is correct or not.


Arthur Meighen: The Department of
Labour still performs exactly the same functions in that regard as before. That is to say, the fair-wage officers make a report upon the request of every department where the question of fair wages arises in respect to the work of that department, and those departments do not act except upon the advice of the Department of Labour. I would not like to say that there has never been any friction-I do not think government departments ever exist without a little; some times I know it has occurred where there has been a little complaint that too much has been assumed by other departments-but that is some time ago. I want to assure my hon. friend that the Department of Labour has the full responsibility in that regard that it always has had, and that the intention is that it shall exercise that responsibility without interruption in the future.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Is my right
hon. friend prepared to give us an absolute assurance that in most of the contracts-I will say ninety per cent of the contracts- that have been awarded during this last year, the Department of Labour, or its officers, have been called upon to prepare fair-wage schedules? Take, for example, the building of the Canadian Government Merchant Marine. Some $70,000,000 has been spent in that connection, and I think the Department of Labour has not been called upon in a single instance to prepare a fair-wage schedule for insertion in the contracts in connection with the expenditure of that vast sum of money. Then, I would like to ask my right hon. friend whether the practice in question is adopted in regard to contracts awarded by the Department of Railways and Canals, or by the Railway Board that has to do with the administration of the National railways-


Arthur Meighen: There is no ground for the hon. gentleman's attitude as to the relationship which exists between the Department of Public Works and the Department of Labour. I give him the assurance that this question of wages- has been uniformly referred to the Department of

Labour. There is a clear existing understanding that that will always be done, and no difficulty has been experienced in that regard at all. The ships to which my hon. friend refers were built by the Department of Marine and not by the Department of Labour. In one particular instance there was certain friction in that regard, but it was adjusted quite satisfactorily. Those ships were built in a manner rather different from that of public works construction, and the question arose over the difference in the contractual methods of construction; but there will be no difficulty there in the future either-the Department of Labour will function fully, as it should.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Of course my right hon. friend recollects that the fair-wages branch of the Government service was formed in pursuance of a resolution adopted by this House, which provided that all Government contracts should contain this provision, a provision designed to protect labour against injustice in the matter of either wages or hours. I would like to ask my right hon. friend whether the present board, which administers the National Railways' system, calls upon the Department of Labour to prepare any schedules at all for insertion in contracts entered into for railway construction work?


Arthur Meighen: In that respect it is just in the same position as the Canadian Pacific and other railways.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I would like to point out what seems to be a very great injustice occasioned throughout the Dominion in consequence of the Government having taken over the administration of the national railways Before this departure of creating what I might call a phantom board was resorted to, and which relieves the Government of all responsibility for the administration of the railways the Department of Railways was obliged to call upon the Department of Labour-just as the Department of Public Works was obliged to do when any construction work was to be undertaken-to insert in the contracts for construction work, schedules providing for the rate of wages to be paid to the men thus engaged. Now the work of railway construction involves, perhaps, the greatest expenditure of any department in the whole Government service, and this change of policy in railway administration has left labour wholly without protection in connection with this large, outlay of public money. The same thing is true, I think, in regard to all expenditures

incurred by the board that has been created in connection with the Government Merchant Marine. Therefore I want to protest very strongly, on behalf of labour in this country, against Canadian labour being left without any protection whatever, in the matter of its wages and working conditions, in the contracts involving such' large expenditures, entered into by these two boards.


Arthur Meighen: I have given an assurance which meets the case fully as to all the other departments of the Government. As to the railways I do not think it should be urged, or that it could be exacted by this House-not even by the other side- that we should impose upon the management of the Canadian Government Railways, the Canadian Northern, and all the rest, obligations that would permit a Government department to dictate to them what they should pay their men and how many hours those men should work. Such a suggestion might have some value for oratorical purposes, but, really, I could conceive of nothing which would be so wholly inconsistent with real business management as putting the Canadian Government Railways in a position which would prevent them from competing on fair terms with the other great systems, or indeed anything which would be more subversive of efficiency generally.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I would like to point out to my right hon. friend that during the regime of Sir Wilfrid Laurier it was always the custom in connection with the Intercolonial Railway-for example, when a station was to be constructed or a road to be built, or when any railroad was being built under government subsidy; because the resolution of this House relates to subsidies given for railway construction as well as to work being carried on directly under the Government-it was always the custom for the Department of Labour to be called upon to frame a schedule of the current rate of wages to be inserted in the contracts for the construction of these works; and labour on railways, where the work was being carried on under public expenditure, was precisely in the same position as labour always has been in the case of public works. Now the action of the Government is a complete departure from that policy -a policy which was laid down by unanimous resolution of this House for the protection of labour.


Arthur Meighen: I should say that as
regards the railways there is in existence

a Railway Adjustment Board, upon which also labour is represented. This is a sort of appeal hoard where all labour difficulties are threshed out and decided, and as far as I know-I think I am safe in saying-decided satisfactorily to all workmen or labour affected. I think that system has worked very satisfactorily indeed, and I do not think it would be desirable, even in the interest of labour itself, that we should interfere with that most satisfactory arrangement.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I would point out to my right hon. friend that the Railway Board does not intervene until after some dispute has arisen. The object of the Laurier administration in providing for this fair-wages regulation was to ensure that the man seeking a Government contract should pay the proper rate of wages and that the prices fixed in his tender should not be fixed at the expense of any persons he might have in his employ. I do not think this Railway Board to which my right hon. friend has referred meets in any way whait is essential in regard to the protection of labour on these contracts.


Arthur Meighen: The hon. gentleman
should recollect that what he refers to as having been subject to the fair-wage clause was merely construction work on the Intercolonial and no change has been made from past practice; the fair-wage policy applies to all railways in the matter of construction work. I had reference to the wage relationship which exists between the men and their employer. The present arrangement takes care of everything-of all labour matters, right down the line; in so far, that is, as concerns the leading Brotherhoods. Surely that is much more comprehensive and much more useful in a practical way. It has proven so, and I can conceive of no better arrangement which could be made.


Mr. EULER:: I would like to ask the
Prime Minister what attitude the Government is taking with regard to its obligations in labour matters as expressed in the Covenant of the League of Nations. I think there were, certain principles laid down in that covenant in the matter of labour obligations, and in the advocacy of those principles the former Prime Minister was very active.


Arthur Meighen: A complete and comprehensive statement was laid on the Table a few days ago in answer to the questions of the hon. member.


William Daum Euler: I am not quite sure that it was a complete answer because I was going to ask another question. Following the meeting of the League of Nations, certain industrial international conferences were held. I think one was- held at Washington in 1919, and certain recommendations were made there, some of which are held, I think, by the Minister of Justice, to come under provincial jurisdiction, but others to come under control of the Dominion. One of these, the question of unemployment insurance, was referred to in the speech from the Throne, but nothing whatever has been done in regard to that. There is one further principle which, I think, has been enunciated at Washington, as well as by the League of Nations, and has reference to overtime work on the part of women. I think that in the declaration in question it is pretty definitely laid down that women should not be called upon to work at all hours of the night. But this Parliament has violated that principle consistently this session. We have violated that principle repeatedly ourselves, by keeping members of the staff, including the women members of that staff, working practically all night, and especially of late. Now, it seems to me that if Canada was sincere in what it advocated at the League of Nations, as well as by her course in taking part in the various subsequent conferences, we ought to make some definite effort to live up to our professions.


Arthur Meighen: The first answer I gave the hon. member was correct, even having regard to his second question. On November 6, 1920, a report to council dealing with these matters was approved by His Excellency the Governor General. The approval of this report, as well as much other material covering the entire question, is the carrying out by this country of the obligations imposed by the Covenant of the League in relation to labour.


Mr. FIELDING:: What about the women who are working so late?


Arthur Meighen: It is all right to say that, but it is unfair to suggest we could have a law in this country as to hours that would be universally applicable to women workers, and that we should adjourn Parliament at such an hour of the night as or even of the day would meet the provisions of that law. We must have some regard for circumstances in this world. I presume we could meet the case by employing only men. I know of no other way as regards this House.


William Daum Euler: In other words, the law is only to be considered as a theoretical measure.


Arthur Meighen: As regards long hours in factories that is a very different thing. Long hours for men and women workers in factories are one thing, but the objections here relate to quite another matter. It is not good for women to be out too late at night-whether correcting the speeches of hon. members or dancing in a ballroom. At the same time neither of these is in the same category with the case which requires the intervention of the State with respect to too long and laborious hours for women, or for young girls and young boys, in workshops.


William Stevens Fielding: There is a material
distinction between the two cases. The hours of labour in factories is probably a matter within provincial jurisdiction and we cannot deal with it. Here the matter is within our own jurisdiction and we refuse to deal with it.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: May I ask my right hon. friend why the Department of Labour issued a pamphlet on Bolshevism? Is Canada in danger from that particular philosophy?


Arthur Meighen: Very many letters
have been received highly complimenting the department on the usefulness, sanity, and indeed necessity, of the pamphlet.


Ernest Lapointe: Hear, hear.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: May I ask how much that pamphlet cost the country?


Arthur Meighen: The deputy minister
advised me that he has not the exact figures, but the sum amounts to just a few hundred dollars.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: How many copies were circulated and to whom were they sent?


Arthur Meighen: I am advised there
were 70,000 copies circulated. I have not the list with me, but many thousands were sent to those who wrote directly for them.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Did the department get many thousands of requests for copies of the pamphlet?


Arthur Meighen: The deputy told me
many thousands. I think he will correct that and change it to many hundreds if the hon. member wishes.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I think the requests must have been due to the speeches of my hon. friend-


Arthur Meighen: Perhaps.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: -in which he spoke about the menace to Canada of Bolshevism. It seems to me this pamphlet was in the nature of propaganda for government purposes rather than in the nature of information of value to the Canadian public. I would like to know from my right hon. friend whether he thinks Canada is in great danger from any Bolshevist movement at the present time, and if so in what parts of the Dominion?


Arthur Meighen: I think the sane, common sense of the country is now pretty well aroused in regard to the matter. I do not think there is any very great danger now, and we intend to take care that there shall be none.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: My right hon. friend has lost all his fears.


Arthur Meighen: What the deputy minister meant when he said "thousands" is that thousands of copies went out in response to requests, but many asked for large number of copies that they might distribute them.


William Stevens Fielding: In making up a list
of persons to whom these copies were to be sent, were they supposed to be sent to persons suspected of Bolshevism, tor to those whose views were perfectly sound and wholesome? There is a maxim "they that are whole need not a physician, only they that are sick".


Arthur Meighen: They were sent to
secretaries of trade unions, to employers and to employees-to persons coming into contact with the public generally. Large numbers went to scholl teachers, but the Department was unable to meet the demand from this last class. I think it is quite possible to treat this question too lightly. I do not mind being castigated a little for having this pamphlet sent out, because I have been castigated a great deal for not having more copies sent out. That castigation has come from prominent persons and from those not prominent- from good, honourable Canadian citizens, especially those who have come in contact with this very menace, who have attended meetings and who know the strength of that menace in localities. It is easy to make light of the matter here in our isolation in this House, but I have received

so much censure for not doing more along this line, that I rather welcome criticism for what I have done.


William Stevens Fielding: I hope my hon. friend
does not entertain the idea that I was attempting to castigate him for what he has done, I do not even complain of it. If the sentiment of the country was aroused to any possible danger by the course which has been pursued, well and good. As far as I am concerned I have no objection to it.
Item agreed, to.
National Industrial Conference, and Commissions arising from 1919 Conference, $10,000.


Ernest Lapointe: Is it the intention of
the department to call a new" National Industrial Conference?


Arthur Meighen: The hon. member asked that question some time ago, did he not?
I got the answer then, and perhaps I had better read it. On the occasion referred to my hon. friend asked:
On page 54, item 258, there is provision for $40,000 for a "National Industrial Conference and Commissions arising from 1919 conference." Is it the intention of the Government to call another National Industrial Conference this year?
The answer is:
No decision has yet been reached as to the holding of a National Industrial Conference this year. A very successful one was held in 1919, upon the recommendation of the National Commission on Industrial Relations. None was held In 1920.
A national conference of employers and workmen in the building industry-called upon the joint request of their respective organizations- is to be held in Ottawa next month. Whether or not a general conference will be held this year depends quite largely upon what representations are made to the Government by those directly interested.
This answer was prepared some time ago and the latter part has no application now, but I may say no decision has been arrived at.


Ernest Lapointe: May I ask my right
hon. friend whether, in the event of there being another National Industrial Conference all labour unions lawfully constituted and organized willl be invited to take part?


Arthur Meighen: The Deputy Minister
of Labour informs me that no decision has been reached as to whether there will be a conference or not, nor has there been any as to what the nature of the conference will be if it be decided to call it, or under what circumstances it will be held. As to my hon. friend's question, certainly there could be nothing in the way of discrimination. It is not the intention of the department that there should be any. It would, however, depend upon the circumstances that require the conference to be held as to just who would be invited. I am sorry that I have not had time to discuss that matter, otherwise I would have gone over it fully with the Minister of Labour. . I know it is important, but no decision has been arrived at yet as to the holding of the conference or what the nature of it will be.


William Daum Euler: I notice the item "Industrial Disputes Investigation Act, $35,000." How many investigations were held in the past year, and has the report dealing with those investigations been issued?


Arthur Meighen: There were 37 boards
established during the past year.


William Daum Euler: Were the boards successful in settling the disputes in question?


Arthur Meighen: There were nearly
seventy applications for boards. In those cases in which no board was appointed the strike was adjusted, thus doing away with the necessity of a board. In every case but five in which a board was appointed the strike was prevented.


William Daum Euler: Does the department issue a printed report dealing with these investigations?


Arthur Meighen: Yes. Copies can be
obtained on application to the department. I have one copy here.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Has my right hon. friend any information as to the extent of unemployment in Canada at the present time?


Arthur Meighen: The Deputy Minister
of Labour informs me that the total number of unemployed in Canada runs to approximately 200,000, but the situation is improving and the number of unemployed is gradually getting less.


William Stevens Fielding: I have noticed within
the last day or two a rather startling statement in the press that in the city of Montreal there are cases of actual starvation arising from unemployment. I know the tendency sometimes on the part of newspapers to magnify things, but the gravity of such a statement as that certainly demands attention.


Arthur Meighen: I cannot say that there is anybody hungry in Montreal.


William Stevens Fielding: I was not making any complaint, the-Government have probably

been pursuing' the right course in a genera; way.


Arthur Meighen: I would like to take occasion to say that the Government adopted the policy this year as regards general unemployment, irrespective wholly of disabled men, of contributing one-third of the actual amount paid out in relief by municipalities, providing the municipality created the organization and that the province and the municipality each contributed one-third as well. Under that provision, the city of Montreal could have called, and can yet call upon the Government to contribute one-third towards thrs local general unemployment. As a matter of fact the municipality has only done sufficient to enable the Government to pay $3,811.03, so that would indicate that the total amount expended in that city for the relief of general unemployment would be under $12,000. That is up to to-day, so it would not appear that the local authorities there regard the situation as critical or pressing. On the other hand, for relief in Hamilton we have paid out $30,938, which would indicate a disbursement there of over $90,000; and in Vancouver, $56,754, indicating a total disbursement on account of general unemployment of about $168,000^ in Toronto $134,127.94 has been paid, indicating that the total there will aggregate $400,000, as against $12,000 in Montreal.


William Stevens Fielding: I do not wish for a single moment to reflect on the Government in the matter; there are emergencies when we are forced to assist, and if there is starvation in any city in Canada I would justify the Government in doing anything in their wisdom to correct the situation. The statement has appeared more than once in the newspapers, that there is in the city of Montreal at the present moment an actual state of starvation. This may well cause alarm from the point .of view of the reputation of Canada. I have nothing to suggest except that if the Government got in touch with the municipality of Montreal and did anything they could to alleviate that condition I would justify them in that course. Beyond that I do not know that I could suggest what should be done, because I realize the problem is one of great difficulty.


Mr. VERVILLE:: I am glad this subject has been brought up. The Prime Minister states that the Government have only been called upon to pay some $3,000 odd by reason of unemployment ih the city of

Montreal. The city, however, will have a bigger claim than that to present , to the Goverment. I suppose the unemployment in Montreal has cost the city since last winter from seventy to seventy-twp thousand dollars and the Government will be called upon to pay one-third of that amount. If the bill has not yet been presented to the Government it is because the organization for the relief of unemployment was carried on with practically no overhead charges at all. My opinion is that in Toronto and other cities the overhead charges were heavy, whereas in Montreal they were very light, due to the fact that a large part of the organization work was carried out by volunteers, and very little expense was incurred on that account. Practically all the money that was expended in Montreal was paid out for actual relief work. However, a precedent was established last winter and although the situation then was bad, I am inclined to think that next winter the burden will be a great deal heavier. I think it will be found that a number of people who did not ask for relief last winter will do so during the coming winter. I have no doubt, therefore, that the expenditure in the months to come will be on a much larger scale than it has so far been. I am informed that there are just as many unemployed in Montreal at present as there were last winter. If, therefore, there is such a considerable degree of unemployment in large cities it is due to the fact that the erection of buildings and work of that kind has not been proceeded with as is ordinarily the case. I shall not discuss at this stage the matter of housing; I can do that on another item which is to come before the committee, but I should like to say here that we must prepare now for next winter, and it would seem advisable that large cities which have such great overhead expenses should take this matter up so that they may not have to spend money for purposes of relief instead of for wages.


Arthur Meighen: The hon. gentleman is evidently under the impression that in the city of Montreal the municipal authorities have got rid of all overhead charges, and rather complains of other cities having permitted the carrying of heavy overhead charges. But this Government has no interest in either of these conditions because we contribute nothing to overhead charges anywhere. If Toronto has heavy overhead charges the 'city has to pay those charges. The hon. member says that

in Montreal relief has been extended, to the amount of about $70,000. I cannot say that I consider that at all excessive-in fact, it is light-and I hope the hon. member is entitled to some credit for keeping it down and distributing it properly. It is advisable that the bills come in as quickly as possible, because they should be included in last year's appropriation, not this year's.


Alphonse Verville: I happen to know
exactly how much we paid out, because I am one of those who vote the money to pay the bills. We are, as I have said, paying out $70,000 on that account. It has taken a little time to get in the bills because every item is carefully scrutinized, even if it is only a pound of sugar. They want to be sure that everything is in order.


Mr. BELAND:: In the case of municipalities like Montreal, for instance, which have been in the habit of contributing two-thirds of the relief money, is the because every item is carefully scrutin-tion of one-third on the part of the province waived?


Arthur Meighen: We have paid our third. The municipality has to get the other two-thirds, and I do not think we would care Whether they paid it all themselves or whether the province contributed its proportion. I do not think, though, that any such case has arisen. My information on the subject of unemployment is this-and it comes from the deputy minister, who is, I think, the very best authority on the subject in this country. The unemployment in many countries of Europe is worse than that of Great Britain and the United States-and the conditions' in both Great Britain and the United States are much worse per capita, in Great Britain far worse, than they are in Canada.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: The Government, I think, have received numerous representations with respect to the existence of combines in connection with commodities which are the necessaries of life -agreements in restraint of trade and arrangements having the effect of enhancing prices. Of course, there is a report which has been presented to the Government by Mr. Murdock and other members of the Board of Commerce. I would like to ask my right hon. friend whether the Department of Labour has taken any steps to investigate the existence of any alleged combines, or has done anything to bring relief to consumers in that respect?


Arthur Meighen: The deputy minister informs me that the hon. member is quite mistaken; instead of having many complaints as to combines enhancing the cost of the necessaries of life, the Department has received none at all, consequently there has been no cause for special investigation. * This has been a problem incident to the cost of living on an ascending market; on the descending market that now prevails it shrinks into comparatively insignificant proportions.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Am I to understand from my right hon. friend that the Government has received no complaints? I am not speaking now of one department in particular; I assume that the Department of Labour, acting in the interests of labour throughout the whole country, would have referred to it complaints with respect to conditions affecting the great mass of the working classes. Do I understand that the Government has not looked into this question of the cost of living in the interest of the consumer?


Arthur Meighen: The cost of living is looking into itself pretty well; it is coming down rapidly. I do not know of any complaints; certainly I know of no formal complaints being presented to the Government, nor have any been presented to me verbally. I did hear it complained of that the price of cement was being held unjustifiably high-that was in private conversation. Beyond that I must tell my hon. friend frankly that we have had no complaint formally as to that and we have had no complaint as to anything else in that connection, even informally.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I do not wish to appear to be prying into secret party matters, but would the right hon. gentleman say whether the report is correct which appeared in the press at the beginning of this session that he advised his followers at one of their meetings that the Government would bring down this session some legislation to deal with combines and monopolies because he thought it necessary that something of that kind should be done?


Arthur Meighen: I think that is one of many rumours which find their origin elsewhere than in the "followers" themselves.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Will my right hon. friend say that he made no such representation to his following, or that he approved of no such suggestion?


Arthur Meighen: I made no statement to that effect-and I undertake not to ask my hon, friend what he says to his following in caucus.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I am not
asking the right hon. gentleman to do any' thing like that. Just one further question: is labour in Canada satisfied with the operation of the Industrial Disputes In-vesetigation Act? Is organized labour prepared to endorse the principle of the Act and the method of its administration?


Arthur Meighen: The Act is being
operated, I think, satisfactorily, and is in some respects more active than ever. The only alteration is in respect of railway labour, which is referred largely to another body and is being taken care of in that way with satisfaction to labour. The Trades and Labour Congress of Canada have asked that the Act be extended to such labour classes as police forces, municipal labour and commission labour-such as the Hydro-Electric-'but it has (been pointed out to them that we have not power to do that. I think the Act is as wide as it can be made, though I do not feel quite safe in stating that definitely.


Henri Sévérin Béland: The Act could be
amended.


Arthur Meighen: I think the Act provides now that it can be with their consent, but we cannot amend it to go any further [DOT]-we have not the power.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Am I right in assuming, then, that organized labour not only endorses the principle of the Act but so cordially approves of it that it would like to have it still further extended to other trades?


Arthur Meighen: I think I should
frankly say to the hon. gentleman that that is my understanding.


Mr. PROULX:: My right hon. friend
said that the price of cement had not come down. Does he believe that there is a combine in cement?


Arthur Meighen: I have not expressed
an opinion on it. I have no reason, myself, to think so.
Miscellaneous-loan to Provincial Governments to encourage the erection of dwelling houses, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Order in Council of the 3rd of December, 1918, and amendments thereto from time to time made-provided that the amount of loan to any province shall not, when added to the loans for the same purpose already made such province, exceed the proportion of a total of

$31,250,000 which the population of such province bears to the population of the Dominion as determined by the last federal census- substituted for Vote No. 316 of Main Estimates 1921-1922 (Kevote $10,456,800), $12,000,000.


Henri Sévérin Béland: Is this loan made
with a view of carrying out the recommendation made by the Pension Committee to relieve the unemployment of returned men?


Arthur Meighen: Yes.


Henri Sévérin Béland: Is there any provision
to compel the provinces to use a share of this vote exclusively for returned men?


Arthur Meighen: There is not. This
appropriation is voted on the condition set out in the Order in Council, which was ratified by, Statute two years ago and which has been again ratified.


Henri Sévérin Béland: The soldiers enjoy no
preference?


Arthur Meighen: They do not. However, as will be seen from the report of the Committee of Re-establishment, in British Columbia, if not in one or two other provinces, all the money, went for soldiers' homes, and in the other provinces up to 80 per cent. So that, in effect, it is almost totally for the advantage of soldiers in providing them with homes.


Alphonse Verville: While this law may
apply and be effective in some parts of the different provinces, we must bear in mind that, in its application in a large city, the building by-laws and rules and regulations of that city must be complied with. My right hon. friend will remember that last year in Montreal we found that it was impossible to put this in operation under the building by-laws of that city. A request was made to the Provincial Government to make some amendments; those amendments were referred to the Federal Government, and the Federal Government refused to make them. I have made a thorough study of this matter in connection with the city of Montreal, and I want to bring this question up, because it has been found impossible to put the law, as it stands at present, into operation in that city. The method of subdivision of lots and the building rules and regulations are not alike in all cities. There are in a number of large cities men who, in the better days, have bought lots which they have paid for over a period of years intending to use them for building purposes. If I understand the law as it was passed, it was intended to assist men receiv-

ing salaries or wages amounting to $1,200 or $1,500 a year. I do not believe that it was ever intended, to any large extent, for men receiving high salaries.	But
in a large city like Montreal, the law has worked out in this way, that those who are taking advantage of it are men receiving salaries from $2,000 up, with steady positions. We asked that the law be amended so as to permit the owner of a lot to put up a house comprising two flats, as is the custom in our city, but the Federal Government refused to accept such an amendment. From the study that I made of this question in Montreal, I found out that it was impossible for a man to take advantage of the $4,500 scheme unless he was receiving a salary of at least $2,000 a year and sure of receiving at least that every year for twenty years. Under the other plan he had to be receiving a salary of over $1,500 a year and to be sure that he would not lose a day's work. It was impossible for any who were earning less to take advantage of the law. A man who had bought a lot on the outskirts, but within the city limits, for the purpose of building, could not afford to borrow money from outside sources at 6 or 7 per cent; but if it had been possible for him to put up a two-storey house and to rent one flat, that would have helped him to pay the local improvement taxes, interest, amortization fund, and so forth. While this law may be effectively applied in small cities which have not such severe regulations as there must be in large cities on account of the danger of fire, and where taxes are lower, I do not believe that, in large cities, people can afford to put up a house of the kind mentioned under the present regulations. Suppose we take the $4,500 scheme. The land is worth, we will say, $500 and the house, $4,000. One is able to borrow that amount less 20 per cent, or $3,600. The average interest for 20 years on the capital would be $94 per annum. The man has to pay the whole amount back, and that means that he has to pay back or pay into a sinking fund $180 per annum. That makes a total of $274. Now, I take the municipal taxes in Montreal because I know of them: On a valuation of $3,500, the municipal taxes would be $73.50; local improvements would cost $20.03; sewerage would amount to $10.02; sidewalks, $4.89, snow-cleaning, $2.50. That makes a total of $111.14. I suppose the man would have insurance on his house, and on a valuation of $3,000 for insurance purposes, the premium would 289
amount to $15 per annum. The man has to keep his house in repair and so forth, and the upkeep would amount to $60 per annum. That makes a total altogether of $460.14 per annum or $38.34 per month. I am citing these figures to show the Prime Minister the impossibility of effectively working out this scheme in a large city. Let us consider that the amount paid for rent is 25 per cent of one's income. That would mean that a man must have an income of say $1,993.68 per annum or $166.14 per month. I am not speaking of a man who has a permanent position at so much per annum, because this law was not supposed to be for those working on a yearly salary. Three hundred days is the maximum ' number of days a man can work in a year, so that if a man was paid by the day for three hundred days, that would mean that he would have to receive $6.64 per day. That is a very big wage, and I do not believe at the present time, or even a couple of years ago, many of this class of men were receiving $2,000 a year. I have often heard it mentioned in the House that certain men are receiving ninety cents or a dollar an hour, but we do not want to lay too much stress on that, if we come to figure up the number of hours they work in a year. A man may get that much per hour, but he cannot be compared with the man earning, say, $3,000 a year. I admit that the regulations of the Government forbid speculation. They will not allow a man to build a house of two flats and rent one of them at $18 or $20 a month; they say that would be speculation. Yet the Government will allow a large corporation to organize themselves and they will loan them money, provided it works on a basis of six per cent. I do not think that is fair. If a man can borrow money to put up a house for himself, I think he should be able to borrow money to put up a house of two flats, and rent one. That is no worse than a large corporation borrowing money and putting up a large number of houses to rent or sell. There are thousands of men in our city who have bought lots, and who are anxious to build. It is true that in some cities the lots are 50 feet, but it happens that in our city, whether rightly or wrongly, the divisions are only 25 feet, but on a lot 25 by 100 feet you can put up ,a house that will meet all the requirements of the regulations as to light, air space, and so on. I have had plans made myself, and I know it can be done. It is true that the cost of building material has come down; it came down again on June 1. But until better times return we are going



[Stage Direction]
to have a very large amount of unemployment in our cities. Now construction is the fundamental basis of good times; whenever there is lots of construction, times are good. It shows, in the first place, that the population are increasing and that people are coming into the large cities from outside, necessitating more housing accommodation. I am not going to discuss the propriety of people flocking to the cities, but I say that it is not right for any one to exact an exorbitant rental. The cost of living is supposed to have come down, but if you increase the rental, that sends it up again. The cost of coal in Montreal is $17.50 a ton, and a house which it would have been fair to rent for $16 or $17 a month is now renting at $30 and more, because people cannot buy the materials to build their own houses at present prices. Nobody is going to put up houses when he will only get a return of one or two per cent, because bonds and other investments will give him a much higher income. It is only that class who are drawing a pretty good salary who are putting up houses, either for rent or sale at a good price.
As I said at the outset, I think the law should allow the construction of buildings of two flats, and allow the owner to reut one. We should not penalize the labour man who has saved up enough money to buy a lot and is anxious to build. I do not think we should look upon the rental of a flat as speculating at all. We all know that the more owners of property you have in a city the better it is, because it gives them a real and substantial interest in their city. I believe that the intention of the legislation, in the first place, was to encourage construction, and we should remove any restrictions that prevent that purpose from being carried out.
Take the case of a building costing $3,000, on a lot costing $500. That is $3,500. Deduct 20 per cent, and you get $2,800 as the price. That would amount to $355.57 per year, or $29.58 per month -roughly speaking $30 a month. Now there is not a single labouring man or professional man who can pay more than one-quarter of his wages for rent and meet his other obligations, unless he has some ether source of revenue. So, if you are paying $25 a month rent, you will require an income of $100 a month. To show the committee how impossible it is for any person to put up a building of any kind under the present law, I would point out that there are other charges besides in-

terest, and some of them more onerous. There are municipal taxes-sewerage, local improvements, sidewalks, and the like of that. A man does not want to go on paying rent all his life. He wants to have a house of his own, or otherwise after a number of years he is just where he was before. I repeat, no man can afford to pay more than one-quarter of his wages for rent. Some people do, I know, but they are the kind that move during the night when the proprietor is away, and you have to hunt for them next day.
Arthur Meighen: I think the hon. member knows more about some phases of this question than I do. Is it our regulations or the provincial regulations that prevent the application of any of this money to the construction of a two-flat house? Is that forbidden by our regulations?


Alphonse Verville: In Montreal last year we asked the Provincial Government to change the regulations, and they did so, but the change had to be sanctioned by the Federal Government, and they would not permit it, so we are up against the same proposition as before.


Arthur Meighen: Was that this last
winter?


Alphonse Verville: The action was taken
the session before last at Quebec. We could have a lot more construction than we have at the present time but for this restriction. I have had four or five hundred applications from working men who would like to build but cannot do so owing to the regulations.


Arthur Meighen: The loan was administered by the former president of the Privy Council, Hon. Mr. Rowell. It was made to the provinces and the provinces made regulations, which had to be satisfactory to the Governor in Council, as to the conditions upon which they would loan the money for housing. The object was, just as the hon. member (Mr. Verville) says, to provide housing for those in receipt of small salaries and wages, and not for those with larger incomes. I remember a difficulty having arisen-although I cannot recall its having come before the Government, but I remember having seen it stated in the press-that in Montreal, for the reasons stated by my hon. friend, the most economical way of building houses was to erect two-flat houses. I thought it was the semidetached house that was mentioned, but I am informed that it was the other kind. I did not know before, however, that there

was any objection to building a two-flat house, but the question did arise. I must say that I am quite impressed with what the hon. member says, and his figures seem to me to be very conservative and convincing. I do not think that any change in the law is required. I do not like to commit myself definitely in the matter, because we shall have to review the situation very thoroughly; but if we decide that the hon. member's wish can be met-and personally I should like to see it materialize-all that would be necessary is to change the regulations.


Alphonse Verville: The Prime Minister
knows the kind of house I mean; on the first floor there are five or six rooms for a family, and on the next floor is exactly the same. Mr. Adams said that in such a building the proprietor could live in one part and rent the other. He claimed that this would be speculating and said that the law should prevent such speculation. I grant that, in a way, it is speculation, but I do not see how a man would pay for his house within the specified time if he were not at liberty to rent part of it.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
For the establishment, construction and equipment of the Canadian National Research Institute, $150,000.
Mr. LEMIEUX:: I objected to this item at the last sitting of the House which ended this morning. The legislation establishing the National Research Bureau was defeated in the Senate, and has not been revived in the healthy atmosphere of the House of Commons, so I do not think that this item can be justified.


Arthur Meighen: We shall have to do
some work, and the Government does not intend to give up its programme in this regard. Very much time can be saved by carrying on some work during the present year. I do not know of any action of the Senate that has appeared so wholly unjustifiable as their conduct in this matter.


Ernest Lapointe: Let us do away with .
the Senate, if their decisions carry no weight.


Arthur Meighen: If my hon. friend will
take the lead in his province there may be some substance to the movement.


Ernest Lapointe: We may discuss that
together.


Henri Sévérin Béland: As soon as we are in
power we will reform it.


Arthur Meighen: The Government is
anxious to have the appropriation to make provision for the work to be carried on, because it is the intention that no time shall be lost.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Could you not reduce
it?


Arthur Meighen: We have already
reduced it from $300,000 to $100,000.


Rodolphe Lemieux: This vote is for


Arthur Meighen: Then we may reduce
it to $100,000. Not more than that sum will be spent.
To provide for the reorganization of the Departments at Ottawa-further amount required, $50,000.


Rodolphe Lemieux: The minister will
kindly explain this item. I understand that this is to be applied to the work of Griffenhagen and Company. If that is so I object to the item, because Parliament was given to understand that the services of this firm had been dispensed with, and besides, we have a Civil Service Commission. Griffenhagen and Company have been employed by the Government for many months now, and there is much objection to their continuing in the employ of the country.


George Green Foster: There was a
contract with Griffenhagen and Company that could be determined on two months' notice. That notice was given and the contract expired on April 3, last, and' there has been no contract with them since. The preliminary work which had been done up to that time in conjunction with the authorities of the two departments, Customs and Inland Revenue, and the Post Office, and which was of a very extensive character, laid the foundation for a system of reorganization, and it was absolutely necessary, if that work was to be carried to its fulfilment in these two departments, that the services of some of the men who had laid the plans in co-operation with the department and the sub-committee on reorganization, should be retained. The Government, therefore, has arranged for the services of individuals of the firm of Griffenhagen, and it is their services which are being engaged at the present time. After having given the matter the most careful consideration I cannot see that we can do anything but retain some of these gentlemen.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Is this the last amount to be applied?


George Green Foster: Yes, but that
$50,000 is not for the Griffenhagen Company as a company, neither is it necessary that the whole of it should be applied to these officers who have brought the system up to its present state and are now engaged in carrying it through. Any number of these men at any time may be dispensed with, and if we can get those who are qualified to do the work within the departments themselves, they shall be employed.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I am not satisfied with the explanation given by my right hon. friend. I regret, in a sense, that he was not here early this morning.


George Green Foster: I was up too
late the day before.


Rodolphe Lemieux: But I cannot blame
him, because at his time of life he is better at home than in the House at four o'clock in the morning. With regard to the Post Office Department, I am informed that the staff of Griffenhagen is still at work and functioning at full speed. I would ask my right hon. friend, on account of his many years of experience, and his fairness, to closely scrutinize the conclusions of the report which has been made by that firm. I do not know the members of the firm personally, I am only speaking from the report I have read. I had some experience in the Post Office Department. It was then fairly well managed, but I notice of late that several of the old and trusted officials of that department, if the conclusions of that report are carried out, will be practically shelved. I have special reference to men like Mr. Sydney Smith, men like Mr. Troop, Mr. Anderson, Colonel Verret, Mr. Lemaire, and Mr. Moon-old and trusted employees, real servants of the Crown, who day in and day out will devote their time and energy and what is best in them to the service of the public. According to that report a regular sabotage is going to take place in the department, or if the expression is too strong, a complete transformation will take place. I appeal to my hon. friend and ask him-because I know that the Post Office Department is under his tutelage at the present moment, -as president of that sub-committee of the Privy Council, he sees that the conclusions of that report are carried out. I would ask him before coming to any final decision, to investigate by himself the case of

each of those officials. They constitute the elite of the department, and the moment those old officials go by the board, well, the Post Office Department may perhaps be in deeper trouble than it is at the present moment.


Henri Sévérin Béland: Quite right, hear, hear.


Rodolphe Lemieux: The right hon. gentleman who has been in this House for nearly forty years knows that the old officials were men of ability, men of devotion to the public service. Let us not accept, as realities, the fancies of newcomers, who know nothing of our traditions. Men like Mr. Anderson or Mr. Sydney Smith have grown up with the service. They know the ins and outs of that department. They are accessible at any time of the day. They are in touch with the public in Canada. Some people believe that they should be dispensed with. Why should those Americans who are investigating the department, be allowed to shelve them under the pretext of reorganization? The department was in a good state of health ten years ago, and I am afraid that the so-called cure will be worse than the so-called disease. Once more I ask my right hon. friend to be fair and just in the appreciation of the report that is before him. Let not those foreigners revolutionize that department, lest you create a feeling of injustice amongst old and faithful employees.


George Green Foster: I quite recognize the importance of the matter in regard to the reorganization of the different departments. First let me correct an error: I say that the staff which is employed by the reorganization committee, the sub-committee of council, has nothing to do at all with the allocation of officers. They simply have to prepare a plan of organization of re-arrangement of business from the investigations which have been made. That is not simply a plan which is made by them, but that is a plan which, when it comes to the sub-committee, has already been gone into by the officers of the department-the deputy minister and the heads of the branches; and where changes have 'been made, they are made and agreed upon between the two. Then after the conferences carried on in that way, comes the recommendation. That goes to the committee on reorganization. That committee takes up those reports and very carefully goes into them, confers with its own staff and confers with the staff of the department which is interested, or with

both of them together, until we come ito a conclusion as to what is best to be done. Afterwards that is reported to council and comes under the view of council, and then the result must go according to the decision which will be made by the council. There is no desire at all on the part of the sub-committee, as my hon. friend right well knows, to do anything else but to secure the greatest efficiency with the greatest economy, and that is steadily kept in mind. It is impossible for me, even with all the knowledge I have, to discuss particular instances in a reorganization which has not yet been fully carried out. My hon. friend has mentioned certain things. They are for the sub-committee, and I can assure my hon. friend that any decision which is made will be arrived at after thorough examination, not only from a report given by our own staff, but a report which is digested thoroughly 'by the department themselves. Afterwards, when it comes to a re-arrangement of the officers, neither the sub-committee nor the staff do that. That is the business of the Civil Service Commission. They take that work up then and do the rest of it.


Rodolphe Lemieux: My right hon. friend knows what we have in universities and schools, the captain's team work. In all branches of the Post Office Department there are old and trusted employees who have been an inspiration to their branches. There is in operation at the present time, not only here, but all over the world, a levelling process. My right hon. friend should remember that men vested with authority are needed in all departments, I would say be fair to the 'old officials who have enjoyed the respect whilst exercising their authority over their subordinates. I am afraid of the levelling process. Men of authority are needed here and there to inspire, and guide the others. It looks as if there is only one in authority in the Department-perhaps two-and that other officials are discarded. I believe in authority; I believe in superior direction, especially when it is exercised by men of experience, men of integrity, and men who possess the respect and confidence of the public. I will trust the right hon. gentlemen in the final reorganization of the Department.

Rodolphe Lemieux: After several enquiries, interpellations and motions, at last the Prime Minister tabled yesterday evening the Snider report. I have read it; I regret, Mr. Chairman, that it is not in your hands-it has found some other way this morning and is not at present available. The conclusions, however, have been published in the press. Here, we have an instance of what a hasty creation may give rise to in the public service. The Editorial Committee was appointed some two or three years ago with a view to economy and retrenchment. The committee went to work-and as a result we have the Snider report. I quite understand why the Government was not anxious to lay that report on the Table: it is a clear condemnation of that Editorial Committee or of part of its personnel. The country was staggered last fall when the news went out that thousands of books and documents had wantonly been destroyed under the direction of this committee. Early in the session I brought the matter up in the House, and I was told that an investigation would take place. The investigation has taken place and the conclusions of the report of Mr. Justice Snider justify the severe comments which I then made. It is almost unbelievable, Sir, that there should be in Canada employees of the Government, or rather vandals, who world deliberately order the destruction of documents, books and archives as has been done in this instance. It appears that a firm in this city, A. L. Florence & Son, have a contract with the Government under which they remove waste paper from the various Departments. The action taken in this case is not the result of inad-vertance; it was coolly plotted-that appears clearly by the report. It was deliberately planned to destroy 60,000 or 70,000 documents and blue books-I have not the exact figures before me-even including some antedating Confederation. I wish to read, Mr. Chairman, the conclusions set forth in that report.
If the publications which were discarded or destroyed, or any of them, should not have been discarded or destroyed, the Editorial Committee, and particularly Mr. Fred Cook, its per-

manent chairman, is responsible for it, because the discarding was done according to what both Mr. Bailey and Mr. Normandin in their evidence and in their notes made at the meeting on the 11th August say, was then directed by Mr. Cook and concurred in by Mr. Lynch.
If Mr. Bailey and Mr. Normandin misunderstood the directions then given them, this fact is due to gross neglect of duty by the Editorial Committee and its chairman in not doing anything to make sure the directions given were properly understood and that the notes taken were correct, and in entirely neglecting in any way to supervise the discarding which Mr. Cook and Mr. Lynch knew was about to take place. Mr. Cook, the permanent chairman, paid not the slightest attention to it.
There is also this to be found in the report:
The evidence of Mr. Normandin and Mr. Bailey on this point was in direct contradiction to that of Mr. Cook, and the commissioner says that their copy of the inventory supports their statements that all the volumes of sessional papers, debates and journals should be discarded with the exception of five each which were to be retained. Mr. Bailey's evidence was to the effect that, in addition to the decisions reached on the subject of the volumes referred to, it was further decided to "destroy all before Confederation".
Canada, therefore, is here advertised as a country of vandals. What must be thought of a public officer directing minor officers to destroy valuable blue books, documents, archives? Mr. Chairman, this would be unbelievable if it were not set out as the truth and the whole truth in Mr. Justice Snider's report. Under the circumstances, Mr. Chairman, the least the Government can do, the least the right hon. gentleman can do, is to declare that this committee will be disbanded and that men of greater wisdom, of more regard for public decency will be appointed on it. I would not fee] that I was fulfilling my duty if I did not say that when I brought this question before the House I did so not only to protest against the destruction of French documents, because I was informed that English documents were also destroyed. Under these circumstances I move that this item be struck out.


Arthur Meighen: I have not read with great care, but I did go through, the interim report which is all that has yet been received from Judge Snider as the result of the investigation. I do not think the report read by the hon. member is a fair summary of it.


Rodolphe Lemieux: It is not a summary; I gave the conclusions. The conclusions are verbatim.


Arthur Meighen: I do not wish to comment on the report except in a word or

two. My first statement is this: It is true that the hon. member brought the subject to the attention of the House. But the inference to be gathered from my hon. friend's remarks, that it was as the result of his doing so that the investigation was ordered is, of course, not correct. In fact the investigation was under way long before the hon. member mentioned it; Judge Snider had been appointed and had been given full authority to look into the matter. The Government, then, 1 p.m. had itself taken action long before the hon. member brought the matter to the attention of the House. But I want to say this: Judge Snider has come to this opinion; he has investigated the matter on the ground and consequently we should not dispute it. But in justice to the Editorial Committee and Mr. Cook I want to say first of all, that, curiously enough, the matter first came to the attention of the Government on the report of Mr. Cook himself. I think it came to the attention of the Government before I became Prime Minister. Anyway, I do know that there was handed to me a document signed by Mr. Cook in which he protested most vigorously against the destruction of these documents. He called our attention to it and asked the Government to look into the matter. It was more at the request of Mr. Cook than any one else that the matter was taken up vigorously on the part of the Government, and that ultimately an investigation into the subject was ordered. It seems rather the irony of fate that the judge investigating the matter should now report that this gentleman was chiefly responsible for the destruction. As I know quite well that Mr. Cook was the man who brought the matter to our attention, I cannot see how those circumstances are consistent with the fact that he was really a party to the deliberate destruction. It may be possible that there was some neglect on his part that justifies the report that he must be held accountable, I am not disputing that, it would require very close study. But it seems incredible to me that Mr. Cook could have been a party to anything in the nature of deliberate destruction. I may say that there was laid on the table of the House to-day a statement by Mr. Cook, in which his two associates joined, in which most vigorous exception is taken to the finding of Judge Snider. It is only fair to him that hon. members should read that statement. But as regards the Editorial Committee, if a mistake was made in this case on the part

of Mr. Cook or on their part, no one *could impeach the integrity of Mr. Cook, Mr. Lynch or Mr. O'Hara. They are not getting anything as members of the Editorial Committee. They are officers who have been in the service for a long time. Mr. O'Hara and Mr. Lynch have been in the service for 15 or 20 years, if not more. They undertook that work; they have saved this country hundreds of thousands of dollars in that work. Although it is most regrettable that any documents of value-and while they were of substantial value, there is no doubt their value has been very much exaggerated -should have been destroyed; nevertheless the loss in that connection is very small as compared with the tremendous value the Editorial Committee has been to the country. Of that there is no room for question or doubt.
I do not want my words to be taken as meaning that I am absolving Mr. Cook or the Editorial Committee in this regard in any way whatever. If they are answerable for deliberate destruction, that is a very serious matter. If they are answerable for destruction arising out of neglect, that is serious enough too; but at the same time we must not impeach their character, and we must give them credit for the good work that they have done.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I do not wish to delay the committee. My right hon. friend says that we must not impeach the integrity of the Editorial Committee. I am not doing that. I am simply taking the conclusions of the report of Mr. Justice Snider who was appointed by the Government to investigate this matter. Mr. Justice . Snider had no other interest in this matter than the interest of justice. If my right hon. friend will read the report, the following facts will be disclosed to him. Thera is a contract given to the firm of Florence & Son in Ottawa. A sum of $11,000 a year is paid by that firm to the Receiver General, and that firm has exclusive control of all the waste paper in the various departments. This is a paying business for all we know. It is evident that the firm of Florence & Son is interested in getting as large a quantity as possible of waste paper. I do not impugn the integrity of any one; but when my right hon. friend, with his keen legal sense, reads that report, he will ask himself if some one was not interested in making the heap of waste paper as large as possible. Unfortunately the archives of the country went on the heap; public documents, blue books, pre-Confederation papers went there.
That is what I find, and that is what I describe as pure vandalism. In one sense it may have been a crime, but if it is not a crime, it is a case where I might repeat the words of Talleyrand: ''C'est plus qu'un crime, c'est une faute." "It is worse than a crime, it is a blunder." The men who were guilty of crime, if crime were committed, or guilty of blunder, should not be in the pay of the Government. I maintain my motion. This item should be struck out.


George Green Foster: I do not wart
to prolong the controversy, but I wish to say a word or two to expedite the matter if possible. The Editorial Committee-


Rodolphe Lemieux: I know the good work
they have done.


George Green Foster: The Editorial
Committee got their authority by a certain Order in Council, dated October 4, 1917, which I want to read. I was the minister who made the recommendation:
The minister recommends that a committee of three members of the Civil Service be appointed to consider the suggestions of the Joint Committee on Printing-
I want my hon. friend to listen to their powers as given:
-and take such action as may contribute to the better co-ordination in the preparation for and printing of public documents and subsequent distribution-	.
That is, after printing.
-so that the greatest possible economy may be attained, consistent with the public interest, and that three members of the Government be constituted a committee to advise and co-operate with the said Editorial Committee, and whose approval shall be obtained to all measures recommended by that committee before they are put into execution.
That is the primary duty which was put on the Editorial Committ'ee, to cooperate with the Committee on Printing and to see that ,those economies werei practised, both in the printing and in the subsequent distribution of documents that were printed. That remained their sole duty until the Order in Council of June 29, 1920, which in part stated that to them should be given:
Authority to determine the proper disposition of obsolete and surplus publications in store in the various Government departments, as well as in the Distribution Office of the Department of Public Printing and Stationery, and supervise their disposition.
That was an added and late duty which was placed upon them and which they undertook, of course, much later than their primary duties. In the execution of

their primary duties, such as are stated in the first Order in Council, the Editorial Committee have done work which is apparent to Parliament. If the members of the House will get the reports of the two years' work of the Editorial Committee, they will see that they have done splendid work, and that very fine results in the way of economy have come therefrom.
With reference to the action of the Editorial Committee in connection with the matter now before this committee, I am not going to review here Judge Snider's report, and I want my hon. friend and other hon. members, in taking Judge Snider's report into consideration, also to take into consideration the document which I placed on the table of the House this morning as a statement by Mr. Fred Cook and Mr. Lynch, two members of the Editorial Committee, who had the conference at which it was proposed to do certain things with certain of those documents that were supernumerary. Mr. Boudreau and Mr. O'Hara, members of the Editorial Committee, were not in town at the time, and they had nothing to do with that conference. There was a misunderstanding, apparent to anyone who will read the reports, with reference to the conclusions come to by a conference held between Mr. Cook, Mr. Lynch and employees of the Printing and Distribution Department. They have different ideas and make different statements as to the conclusions that were reached. My own view of the matter is that there is not the first item which can be cited to show that there was malice prepense, or that there was any desire to do anything other than was proper and right, and the ultimate result was almost entirely due, I think, to the misunderstanding as to the conclusions come to in that conference. Whether it was from blunder or negligence, or from whatever other cause, I want hon. members, before they make up their minds, to read not only Judge Snider's report, but also the statement I placed on the Table this morning.
I think the whole thing is soluble on the ground, not of a desire to do anything wrong or inconsistent with a desire to do everything right, but owing very largely to misunderstandings and maybe to a little negligence and perhaps oversight. I rose to make that little explanation, 53 that fairness may be had on all sides when both documents are before hon. members for review.


Rodolphe Lemieux: "Little" explanation?

Mr? SINCLAIR (Guysborough) : I have no remarks to make about the Snider report, but I would like to say that economy may be carried too far by the Editorial Committee. Members are confined to receiving only three free copies of the Hansard. That is not enough. I represent thirty thousand people in this Parliament, and I am constantly getting letters from people saying that a certain debate is of interest to them and that they would like to have a copy of the Hansard containing it, but when I go to the Distribution Office for a copy of it, I am told that I have already received my three copies. That is a kind of economy that I do not think is advisable. There are difficulties of the same kind with reference to other publications, which, I suppose, are accounted for on the ground of economy.


George Green Foster: If my hon.
friend will allow me, it is the Printing Committee, and not the Editorial Committee, that controls that.


Mr SINCLAIR (Guysborough) :: I have a remark to make about the Editorial Committee. I have drawn my hon. friend's attention once before to the fact that they have eliminated fron) the blue book known as Public Accounts that very important part which gives a comparative statement of the expenditures in each department of Government for each year since Confederation. It was one of the most interesting parts of that publication, but those pages have been cut out for the present year. I hope they will be restored next year.


George Green Foster: The Editorial
Committee had no more to do with that than my hon. friend.


Mr. SINCLAIR (Guysborough):: Who
does it?


Sir HENRY DRAYTON:: I am afraid
I am entirely responsible for that.


Mr. COPP:: Don't do it again.
Amendment negatived.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Too many cooks spoil
the broth.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
At One o'clock the committee took recess.

After Recess
The committee resumed at 2.30 p.m.
Georges Henri Boivin: When the committee rose at one o'clock, three Estimates remained for consideration, Nos. Ill, 555, and 557. Item No. Ill, Railways, Canadian Government, $4,117,999 had been allowed to stand at the request of the member for Westmoreland (Mr. Copp).


Arthur Bliss Copp: Being a representative of New Brunswick, one of the three Maritime Provinces, I feel it my duty, not only to my constituents in particular but also to the people of the whole province from which I come, to say a few words in regard to the Canadian National railways, especially that portion which is known as the old Intercolonial railway, from Montreal to Sydney, Halifax and St. John. The feeling of the people of New Brunswick in regard to Canadian National Railway affairs is very pronounced, and I am tempted to address the committee today because of a statement made to the Special Committee on Railways and Shipping a few weeks ago by the chairman of the Board of Management, to the effect that the whole criticism of the Canadian National Railway system began and ended in the eastern section of the railway. There has been considerable criticism as well as a very strong feeling, in regard to the railway situation, on the part of the Maritime Provinces, and matters are becoming graver from month to month since the operation of the road has been practically taken over by the Board of Directors of the Canadian National railways. I am bound to reply to the statements of Mr. Hanna, and I shall do so in no spirit of resentment. That gentleman declared that the criticism from that section of the country was of a small and petty character. Well, I want to tell the Minister of Railways that the delegation of some fifty gentlemen who are interested in industry, in commerce, and in the professions, and who journeyed from that part of Canada to Ottawa to lay their case before the Government, did not come to the Capital for the purpose of indulging in captious or carping criticism. They did not come here to plead a few isolated cases. They came, fifty strong, representing the very best interests of the Maritime Provinces, to lay their grievances clearly before the Government, and I should be derelict in my duty if I did not take this opportunity to
re-affirm and substantiate the arguments which they laid before the Government the other day. It has been felt in the Maritime Provinces that we were in a most unfortunate position because of the fact that we had no representatives from that section of the country in the Dominion Cabinet to represent us in the councils of the Government; and while I want to give the right hon. the Prime Minister (Mr. Meighen) due credit for having brought into his Government some hon. gentlemen from the Maritime Provinces, I must say that I had hoped that those hon. gentlemen would endeavour to exercise whatever influence they had with the Government to the end that, if all the demands of the Maritime Provinces could not be met, at least some consideration would be given them at the present time. Now, I do not purpose to deal with this matter at any great length, because, if I attempted to argue the case from all its angles, I am afraid I should consume a great deal of time; and during my short term in Parliament, I have, on different occasions, argued this question to a greater or less extent. Those who have preceded me as representatives of the section from which I come, have also placed our case on Hansard, and therefore I need not go over the whole matter in any exhaustive detail.
The Intercolonial railway, the people of the Maritime Provinces properly think, was built for the purpose of implementing the agreement which was made at the time of Confederation as the sole inducement for the Maritime Provinces, who were reluctant to enter the Union, to join forces with the rest of Canada. The statesmen of the Maritime Provinces at that time were very reluctant about entering Confederation, and the strongest argument that was advanced to induce the Maritime Provinces to come in was the undertaking that a railway would be constructed from those provinces to connect up with the commercial centres of Upper Canada, providing a reasonably cheap rail transportation. Our natural market at that time was found in the New England States, but when the Maritime Provinces entered Confederation, they were, of course, bound by such fiscal arrangements as might be made between Canada as a whole and the United States, and, therefore, the New England markets were closed to us. They were handy markets, the water transportation being comparatively cheap. When that market was

closed to us,, as was pointed out the other day by certain hon. gentlemen, it was obvious that unless we had a reasonably cheap transportation service from the Maritime Provinces to Montreal, Toronto, and the great western provinces that would be founded, the Maritime Provinces would be prejudicially affected, beyond peradven-ture, in entering into the Confederation of Canada. Now I want to say to the Minister of Railways that the freight rates which have been placed upon the commodities of the Maritime Provinces are absolutely paralyzing the trade of those provinces, and, unless some remedial action is taken in this matter, the business interests of our part of this great Dominion stand to be seriously impaired. By the industry, the energy, the pluck, and the perseverance which have characterized the business men of the Maritime Provinces during the last fifty, years, an important trade has been built up in Eastern Canada, and these unduly high rates of transportation, I fear, will only drive these men out of business, and cripple industrial effort. These high freight rates are unfair not only to tno Maritime Provinces, but to the whole Dominion, because, as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, if the interests of one part of the country are injured, this injury will react on other sections. Unless we can have a reasonably cheap transportation service, our business cannot grow, our trade will be stagnant, and our younger population will naturally seek new fields for their enterprise. Mr Hanna, when before the committee, criticised not only members of Parliament, but apparently every one else who had anything adverse to say in respect of the Canadian National Railways. Lee me say to him, in a spirit of friendliness, that instead of criticising those who rightly find fault with the railways, it would he more to the point if he and his colleagues on the Board of Directors would endeavour to popularize this system of railways fcy providing the people with a more satisfactory service. After all, it is a business proposition: The Canadian National Railways have passenger and freight transportation space to sell, and unless they can offer adequate inducements, the people are not going to use the system. Their facilities must be equal to those that are to be found on any other well-organized road.
In regard to the men who came here the other day and laid their case before the Government, I may say they came here, not

representing any class of political party, but representing the whole people of the Maritime Provinces. I bespeak on behalf of those people the careful and deliberate consideration of the claims made by them. As I said a moment ago, I associated myself with them. They come to the Government, not in a threatening attitude, or even a warning attitude, but with a direct appeal to the Government as the guardians of the people of the whole Dominion of Canada. The Government are just as much the guardians of the people in the Maritime Provinces as of the people in any other section of the Dominion of Canada. We find our Canadian National Railways Board of Directors, talking in a rather resentful way about criticisms coming from the Maritime Provinces. I say that criticism is well deserved. In addition to studying the question of freight rates for transportation from the Maritime Provinces, and deciding upon the rates, the delegates also asked the Government to consider-and I again place myself on record as agreeing with them-whether or not it would be in the interest, not only of the people of the Maritime Provinces, of the whole Dominion of Canada, if the old Intercolonial was operated as a separate unit with headquarters in the city of Moncton, where its headquarters have always been from Confederation down to two or three years ago, when the general management of that railway was practically moved from the city of Moncton, partially to the city of Montreal and more particularly to Toronto. Formerly the people of the Maritime Provinces, had the opportunity of meeting individually the directors and managers of that system, could come to them, and seek redress, and arrange their business, without having to go beyond the confines of our own province. The authority that was given to the management of the road at that time, has been removed from the Maritime Provinces. If we desire the slightest information or have the slightest business to transact, we cannot do it through the officials of that railway at Moncton, but have to go to Toronto. There is not a man with authority to-day in Moncton who has authority to sell a carload of ashes, but he must refer it to the city of Toronto. I say that does not make for the good operation of that portion of the national railways known as the Intercolonial. Referring to the official staff, if you may dignify them by that name, which is supposed to have some control of that section of the railway, very few of those individuals are men

trained on the Intercolonial. We have men who spent many years, some practically their whole lives in working up the interest of the road and who have had experience on that section of the railway, and to-day hardly one of those men holds any position of authority or standing on that road. I have no.criticism to make of the personnel of the staff, but I say it is manned and officered by railway men who have been brought from Toronto or the Canadian Northern Railway system, and placed in charge of that section of the Intercolonial. They do not understand the situation and they do not understand the people. I say it would be very much better for the minister to use his influence with the board of directors, if he has any, to see that the men who from the inception of their railway experience worked on the Intercolonial should be retained with adequate power and responsibility. These men advanced step by step from the time they went into the work on that system until they got into a position where they would have made splendid railway men, but they have been removed, and men brought from outside to fill their places.
I do not say that these men who were trained on the Intercolonial were not taken care of in some other way, but it would have been much better for that section of the Canadian National railway if these men had been given positions to carry on the work on the road where they had been trained and had had experience.
There is another small matter which I brought to the attention of my hon. friend last year-the operation and use of private cars on that section of the railway. I told him then, and repeat now, that it is not necessary to have as many private cars in operation on the section of the Intercolonial as are in use to-day. We have superintendents and! assistant superintendents brought in from outside, and it seems to be the whole aim to get men in the shops to build private cars, and put private cars on every passenger train running to St. John, Newcastle, Campbell-ton or Montreal. I do not know what it costs the country every time they draw a private car from Moncton to Montreal, but I know it is a large figure. I am not narrow or small in regard to private cars. I readily understand that managers of railways, men who have to do their business along the railway, naturally will take their clerks and stenographers with them, and naturally require private cars to do that business; but I can say to my
hon. friend that this is not the time to add to the number of private cars which are being carried over this road and this for two or three reasons. One reason is that we are not in position to stand the excessive cost of extravagant operation. Secondly I would say to my hon. friend that his Board of Directors have found it necessary to retire 500 or 600 men from the workshops of the Intercolonial railway.
I have been getting daily advice from that district and I find these men are walking the streets, not earning a single dollar, and their families, if they are not in actual want, soon will be. It does not add to the idea of restful conditions in this country which we would all like to see. These men, standing on the platform at Moncton, will see a private car hooked on the rear of a train which is to carry one or two individuals going to St. John, when surely a Pullman would be quite good enough for them. I am not envious of the man who can ride in a private car if he has the money to pay for it, but the people of this country should not be called upon to put their hands in their pockets to pay for the expensive operation of private cars to gratify the vanity of the superintendents, assistant	superintendents,	mechanical
foremen and other petty officials whose sole ambition, as I said a few minutes ago, appears to be to ride	around in
private cars at the public expense. Pullman reservations to-day cost three times as much as a few years ago. For instance, you cannot get a drawing room from Moncton to Montreal for less than $24. Yet, Sir, many of these petty railway officials, if they cannot gratify their ambition with a private car, take up Pullman reservations at the expense of the country, though many of them if travelling on their own account would not incur the expense.
Another ground of complaint is that these private cars are drawn at the end of our trains and ordinary passengers are unable to enjoy from the rear the beautiful section of country they may be passing through. When I brought this to the attention of my hon. friend last year he not only promised to have the practice discontinued, but he told me that it was against the rule. The practice is still continued, and if it is against the regulations somebody must be responsible. I again appeal to my hon. friend to see to it that the railway officials do something to try and popularize the road instead of riding through the country on all occasions in private cars.

I know, Sir, and readily admit, that this is not an opportune time to build or buy railways, but in fairness to the province of New Brunswick I think the Government should take over the St. John and Quebec Railway running from Centreville to the city of St. John. That is the only road in that section of the country not owned by the Federal Government. During the last two or three years we have taken over practically every railway in the Dominion with the exception of the Canadian Pacific, and in doing so have relieved practically all the other provinces of their liability on the railway bonds which they had guaranteed, a liability representing millions of dollars. If it is the policy of the Government to relieve all the other provinces in this way, then I say the province of New Brunswick should be accorded similar treatment, and this railway should be taken over and operated as part of our national system. I have no doubt that my hon. friend has received from the government of the province of New Brunswick a resolution moved by the Premier and seconded by the leader of the Opposition at the last session of the legislature, and passed unanimously, to the effect that it was the duty of the Dominion Government to assume the burden of the St. John and Quebec Railway as they have assumed the burden of other railways in the Dominion.
I want also to draw to the attention of the Minister of Railways a matter that I have no doubt has already been brought to his attention by petitions from a very large section of people in my county who are desirous of railway accommodation from Shediac to Cape Tormentine. A charter was granted some years ago for what is known as the Shediac and Cape Tormentine railway. The people of that locality are particularly anxious to have the line constructed, and I trust my hon. friend will give their request favourable consideration.
I omitted to say, when discussing the railway situation in the province of New Brunswick, that a study of the railway statistics will show that less public money has been expended on railways in New Brunswick per capita than in any other province. Therefore, I submit that my province is peculiarly entitled to the most favourable consideration of my hon. friend in regard to railway facilities.
I promised that I would not detain the committee long, an$l therefore I have spoken very briefly on these very important IMr. Copp.J
matters, but they are worthy of, in fact they demand, deliberate and sympathetic consideration by the Government, and I sincerely trust that I will have the active support of all other members from the Maritime Provinces in regard to what I have laid before my hon. friend. We are very proud of the Maritime Provinces which we may consider as one of the three great sections of the Dominion, the others being the two important provinces of Quebec and Ontario in the centre, and in the West the vast Prairie Provinces.
Their business interests are similar in many respects, _ but at the same time they are easily divisible into three separate districts, and the only way we can make Canada prosperous is to keep these three sections working together in harmony and in the best interests of all. I trust that something will be done by the Government or by the Board of Management to alleviate at once the conditions which prevail in the Maritime Provinces with regard to railway matters; otherwise our business interests may be paralyzed. I again appeal to the Minister of Railways; I appeal to those who come from the Maritime Provinces to support the just claims of the people of that part of the country-not because I advance them, but because they are the views put forward by the delegation, fifty strong, which interviewed the Government the other day in regard to this matter, with which views I have the honour to associate myself. I trust that the Government will take this matter up and not only give it consideration, 'but see that proper relief is afforded to the Maritime Provinces in this regard.


Mr. McISAAC:: I wish to bring to the
attention of the Minister of Railways certain grievances, certain handicaps or disabilities, under which the people of the province which I have the honour to represent are suffering. In the first place, there is at Georgetown a wharf which has not been used for some time. It is a valuable property; there is a valuable warehouse on it, but it is out of commission and the people are very anxious that the necessary expenditure should be made in order to keep it in a good state of repair, because while it has not of late been used very much it may be required in the near future. Then, they have some grievances with regard to the early closing of the stations at Montague, Cardigan and Georgetown. Passing from this, I wish to point out another hardship from which the people are suffering. I have received

numerous telegrams and letters with regard to the summer time-tables which have been put into force on the eastern section of the Prince Edward Island Railway, from Charlottetown to Souris and Georgetown. Freight trains are run between these points only tri-weekly, whereas they have hitherto always had in summer a daily freight service. A number of merchants of Georgetown, Souris and Montague have sent me telegrams pointing out that if this schedule is continued it will practically put them out of business. I suggest that an improvement be made in this regard.
Then, the booking station at Bear River on the eastern line, about half way between St. Peters and Souris, is about to be closed, so it is reported. That station has been there ever since the opening of the road; a prosperous farming community has been built up on both sides of it, and if the station is now closed there may be nothing else for these people to do but to leave there and move somewhere else. It would mean that there would be no booking station between St. Peters and Souris, a distance of some twenty-five miles. On behalf of the people of this district I urge the minister to take this matter into his serious consideration.
But the paramount question with regard to transportation is the standardization of the remaining portions of the Prince Edward Island Railway. These matters have already been brought to the attention of the minister; figures have been placed before him as to what the probable cost would be. The improvement which has resulted in the export trade of the province and in the cultivation of the farms since the inauguration of the car ferry across the straits and the partial broadening of the track is an indication of the benefit which would accrue from the standardization of the remaining portions of the road. The progress and advancement have been so marked that they constitute the greatest possible argument in favour of completing the standardization as soon as possible. It is stated that an annual saving of about $81,000 would be effected by the completion of this work and the obviating of the necessity for making transfers from the narrow gauge to the broad gauge at Charlottetown, Summerside and Borden. Another consideration is the fact that ties have already been laid on 60 per cent of the road-bed and are ready for the broad-gauge rails. The cost, therefore, of completing the work would not be so very great; it is estimated
-I think fairly correctly-that $600,000 would finish everything.
Now, Mr. Chairman, these are the principal things that weigh upon the people of Prince Edward Island so far as the matter of transportation facilities is concerned; these are the handicaps and disabilities under which they suffer. The inauguration of the car ferry in 1918 was the first practical step towards the solution of the problem of affording adequate transportation facilities between Prince Edward Island and the mainland. It is urged that an additional car ferry be supplied at an early day. On that phase of the question I am not going to dwell at the moment; if we get the remaining portions of the road standardized we can afford to wait for a time for the additional car ferry. But I believe that the increase in production in the agricultural province of Prince Edward Island would be so great as to fully justify the additional expenditure on a second car ferry.
In addition to what I have already said I desire to present further reasons in order to convince this committee beyond the possibility of doubt that the people for whom it is my privilege to speak and the province which I have the honour to be a representative, are unquestionably entitled to the transportation improvements for which I plead. Prince Edward Island although the smallest province of the Confederation, is the most populous according to area and the wealthiest according to population. It is the garden of the Gulf, the gem of the northern seas. It is a land of peace and plenty where a generous soil under moderate climatic conditions reacts readily and yields abundantly to the activities of industry and intelligence. It is the home of sturdy men and comely women where the visitor receives a welcome and hospitality is dispensed in princely fashion.
In this province there are no gigantic mountains, nor foaming cataracts thundering over lofty architraves but there is spread out on every hand quiet, restful, soothing pastoral scenery. It is a land of pearly brooks and shimmering streams, flawing rivers and winding bays. Here the summer heat is tempered by the brineladen breezes which are wafted from the foam-flecked St. Lawrence or Strait of Northumberland, and which impart the glow of health to the cheeks of our youths and maidens. If you would see our province at its best, you should visit it in the summer season when you will see the fields

clothed in their richest green, the ripening grain waving in the wind awaiting the sickle's sharp edge and the trees laden with their luscious fruit. Here there is abundant opportunity for rest and recuperation; here the overworked may speedily regain renewed vigour and mental activity.
Not infrequently those seeking health, rest and renewed vigour travel long distances and spend sums of money altogether out of proportion to the benefits received, but here, within easy reach is an elysium where they may at moderate cost benefit to a greater degree than at any resort to which they might travel. Surf bathing, boating, shooting, angling and other forms of recreation of the best kind are available in ample supply. For those who may prefer the later months when the shadows grow longer and the maple leaves assume their autumnal tints will be found attractions equally as agreeable. I am inclined to believe that if my good friend, the Minister of Finance, Sir Henry Drayton, would again visit our province at this particular season and avail himself of the opportunity afforded to investigate the succulent bivalve, his heart would soften and he might be disposed to loosen the federal purse strings and place at the disposal of the Minister of Railways, the money necessary to carry out the transportation improvements that I earnestly plead for.
If the Government will issue bonds to the people of Prince Edward Island and borrow the necessary money from them, I am sure, in twenty-four hours, they will get all that is necessary to carry on this improvement. Therefore, if the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Railways will visit Prince Edward Island, perhaps a little later in the season when the country is at its best, they will be so carried away that the case will be won and we shall not have to plead any more for this essentially necessary improvement in our transportation facilities.


Mr. SINCLAIR (Queen's, P.E.I.) :: I regret that this item did not come up earlier in the session in order that questions which affect transportation in the East could be more fully put before the com-, mittee. I do not wish at this time to take up any of the time of the committee unnecessarily by going into details. I rise at this time just to support what has been said by the hon, member for Westmoreland (Mr. Copp) and the hon. member for King's (Mr. Mclsaac), to bring to the notice of the Government conditions that exist in eastern Canada, and more especi-

ally in Prince Edward Island in connection with our transportation system. I am not going to repeat what has been said in previous debates during the session. The matter has been placed clearly before the minister by delegations of boards of trade and also by hon. members of this House. In a previous discussion I had an opportunity of placing a statement on Hansard myself. I simply ask the minister to give these matters consideration and to put into effect, during the coming year, the request to finish the standardization of the railway.
In carrying on the argument, I wish also to say that the delay in doing this work is delaying development in Prince Edward Island. In 1909-10, as the hon. member for Shelburne and Queen's (Mr. Fielding) will remember, development in railways in Prince Edward Island was undertaken. A branch was built to Murray Harbour. This was to be followed by, and a contract was let for, a branch railway to the New London section. Those are our best and largest sections which are distant from railway facilities. When the standardization of the railway was undertaken, this work of development was stopped until the railway would be built to the standard gauge. These sections expect that work to be done. I had the honour a year ago, to present a petition, from another section to the Minister of Railways through the Governor in Council, asking for a change in the present facilities along the branch that runs from Mount Stewart to Georgetown. Under present arrangements that train i& brought in on the north side of the river in a very roundabout way, duplicating the train that runs to Souris. It is requested by the people-and I think it is an economical proposition for the railroad -to divert that line at Birt's crossing, build about twenty miles of new road tiirough a level and good farming section to Mount Herbert and come in across the bridge to Charlottetown over the Murray Harbour railway. This will be a saving in distance for the people who are served by that line; it will enable the operation of the railway to give the service in a shorter time; it will be a saving of time, and also a saving in cost of operation. It will be economical from the standpoint of operation. It will also be a great help in developing one of the finest sections in Eastern Canada, namely, through the Montague, Fort Augustus and Lot 48, section of Prince Edward Island. I commend this to the attention of the minister. The development that is being demanded by our people in that way is held back on account

of the standardization not being completed.
I know that we have the sympathy of the Minister of Railways in our demands; I know that he is ready to carry on the work, and I think, with a little co-operation with the Minister of Finance, we can expect results during the coming summer. I leave the matter with the minister to carry out.


John Howard Sinclair: I have not forgotten, sir, your admonition that our time is short, so that any remarks that I may make on this question will be very brief. I wish to associate myself with the speeches of other gentlemen made here this afternoon, as regards the claims of the Maritime Provinces for better transportation facilities than we have at the present time. A large delegation of business men from the Maritime Provinces came before the Government a few days ago pressing those claims. This matter is of vital importance at the present time to the Maritime Provinces. I submit, Sir, that some concession should be given to the people of the Maritime provinces, as regards especially the heavy articles of traffic. The history of the Intercolonial was pressed upon the Government by that delegation. It was pointed out that it was built to carry out the terms of Confederation; that at the time of Confederation the Maritime Provinces were trading with the New England States; that geography was against the proposed trade with the central parts of the Upper Provinces, and that the Intercolonial railway was built for the purpose of enabling the Maritime Provinces to carry on business with the other parts of the Dominion of Canada. But, if freight rates are to be placed so high that it is impossible for these people to move their coal, steel, lumber and fish, which are the great staples, to the centres of population in the Upper Provinces, of course the benefit of the Intercolonial railway as regards the trade of the Maritime Provinces is largely lost. I wish, therefore, to associate myself with what has been said on that question, and to press upon the Government the vital necessity of giving this matter their best consideration with as little delay as possible.
I also wish to draw attention to the fact that we are proposing in this item to vote $4,117,994 for construction and betterments. We are not told where this money is to be spent. I desire in that connection again to press the claims of my own constituency for a branch railway. The Minister of Railways is familiar with the conditions in that part of the country. I have
frequently brought this matter to his attention. A branch railway in that locality would serve two purposes: it would relieve the congestion on the Intercolonial in Eastern Nova Scotia, and at the same time open up a very important district in the county of Guysborough and the eastern part of the county of Pictou. Ten years ago the claims of that part of Canada were admitted by everybody. My right hon. friend the member for King's (Sir Robert Borden) did us the honor, shortly before he became Prime Minister, of visiting my constituency, and his friends who welcomed him on that occasion understood him to say that if he was returned to power he would construct that branch railway. The claims of that locality, I say, were admitted at that time. The Government surveyed and located a branch line and Parliament voted $1,000,000 to start the work. The Government purchased, at a cost of $100,000, twelve miles of railway already constructed to form part of the branch. But at that point the project stopped. Ten years have now passed and nothing further has been done. I submit that there is no case so urgent as this in the whole Dominion of Canada. There are some 40,000 people interested in the construction of this branch. It is one of the oldest sections of Canada. Canso is one of the oldest towns in Canada. When Halifax was a forest, the seat of Government was at Canso. The people of that locality have contributed their fair share towards the development of this Dominion for the last half century, but they are still, at this late date, isolated from railway communication. The only transportation that it is possible for them to have is a branch of the Intercolonial. I would not ask for the expenditure' of a large sum of money at the present time, with the country's finances as they are, except that the Government is proposing to vote this $4,000,000 for construction and betterments in any case. I do not know where the Government propose to construct these new branches, but I want to say that if there is any branch railway to be made in any part of Canada, there is no more urgent case than that of the constituency I have the honour to represent. For several years past our representations in regard to this proposal have been disregarded; fair play and justice have been disregarded. The money, as I said before, was voted by Parliament; but, not for business reasons, not for the sake of economy, but largely for party and political reasons, the proposal was abandoned. The Minister

of Railways is a friend of mine and I want to appeal to him. When he sits at the Council board to decide what shall be done with this $4,000,000, I appeal to him to submit the dire necessities of the people of Guysborough county, and to press their claims upon the Government. He knows the situation well. He well knows that what I claim is only a matter of cold justice. I wish to say again and to say it most emphatically, that if any expenditure is to be made for the construction of railway branches anywhere in Canada this branch in Guysborough county ought to come first.


Mr. TURGEON:: Mr. Chairman, as I have already on many occasions expressed views and made suggestions similar to those just expressed by the hon. members who have just spoken on this important question of the Intercolonial Railway and its requirements, I will merely say at present that I endorse all their statements and suggestions.
The hon. Minister of Railways has already acceded to some important requests of mine for my county, and as I wish him to leave a good name somewhere in Canada when he retires from office, I say to him that the Maritime Provinces is a land of gratitude as well as solicitude, and anything he does for it will be highly appreciated.


Hon. Mr. REID:: Just a word in reply to the several members who have spoken. With reference to the remarks of the hon. member for Westmoreland (Mr. Copp), I was present in the Committee when President Hanna made the statement that the only criticism of the Canadian National Railways came from east of Montreal. I was Sorry that he made the statement; I think it would have been better if it had not been made, because it does not promote good feeling to make remarks of that kind. I was also present when the very large and influential delegation were here a few days ago in connection with the Intercolonial Railway. The hon. member will recollect that among other things they objected to the head office of the Canadian National Railways being in Toronto, or at all events, they objected that complaints had to be taken to Toronto for redress, instead of to Moncton, as in the past. They also complained very much about the high freight rates, and about not having a manager at Moncton, as in the past. They also objected to the Railway Commission having control over rates, as they have of course, over all

the other railways. They also brought up the question of the Government taking over the St. John Valley railway. Several other matters also came up. I must say that I was very much impressed by the statements made by several members of that delegation. The Prime Minister also stated that he was very much impressed with the representations that had been made, and that the matters asked for by the delegation would be considered by the Government in the near future. I think the hon. member, therefore, will not expect me to say anything further on these matters to-day, but I can assure him that the several requests of the delegation will be considered by the Government at the earliest possible moment.
Now I wish to refer to what the hon. members from Prince Edward Island have said with regard to the closing of Bear River station, the daily service on that line being changed, and one part of the line being served with a tri-weekly service, instead of a weekly service, as those are matters of operation I shall bring them to the attention of the management immediately, with the request that they look into the matter and, if possible, reconsider the action that has been taken or is about to be taken.
With reference to the narrow gauge, I am sorry that this year the Government could not see its way clear to make the change from the narrow to the standard gauge system, but it was felt that financial conditions were such that we could not undertake that this year. However, next year when we are considering the estimates we will take that matter up and deal with it then. I hope that we may be able to consider it favourably and proceed, if not with all the work, with part of it.
In conclusion, I would say that these matters will be looked into and given the attention of my department and of the Government at the earliest possible moment.


John Howard Sinclair: What
about the Guysborough branch?


John Dowsley Reid: I am sorry there is
nothing in the estimates for that this year. I should have liked to be able to put it in for the hon. member, but I think he will have to leave that over until next session.


Mr. ROBB:: The Canadian National Railway Board, in 1918, for purposes of defence, decided to transfer a certain mileage of Canadian rails over to France. How many miles of rails were transferred to France, and has the Canadian Government been paid for them?


John Dowsley Reid: Five hundred miles of railway track was lifted, of which three hundred came from the Transcontinental, between Moncton and Winnipeg, and two hundred from the Grand Trunk Pacific in the mountain section. These rails were shipped to France, and the British Government has paid all out-of-pocket expenses. The balance due is under investigation; we have not yet received settlement.


James Alexander Robb: What does the minister mean by out-of-pocket expenses? Does he mean cost of transportation, apart from the cost of the material?


John Dowsley Reid: The material has not yet been paid for.


William Stevens Fielding: Will the minister inform me what has been done in regard to certain fire claims in the county of Shelburne which I have brought to his attention?


John Dowsley Reid: This is a claim for damages caused by fire, and is made by a Mr. MacMillan. The claim has not yet been paid. The file shows that correspondence was had up to May 7, of this year. The management take the ground that the evidence is not sufficient to justify their paying the claim. They say that the evidence is only circumstantial, and their solicitor, so far, has not felt that they would be justified in settling the claim. However, I do not feel that I should say more than that at the present time.


William Stevens Fielding: My impression of the matter was that the claim' had not been denied, but that the railway company-because the theory is that it is still a company-.could not pay more than $5,000. I think it was represented to me that they are prepared to pay $5,000 into court, and leave the matter to the judgment of the court. Of course, I quite realize that at this moment we cannot go very much into the details of the matter. I should like to ask the minister also concerning a matter that was brought up at the close of last session regarding the purchase of the Lot-biniere and Megantic railway. It was stated that the Government had agreed to pay $330,000. The minister informed me that the money had not been paid, and that before it was paid, he would see that a proper inquiry was made to ascertain whether the Government would be justified in paying the money. What report has the minister had on the subject?


John Dowsley Reid: My deputy was here
when the matter was first brought up,
and I gave him instructions to look into it. He assured me that we were justified' in paying the amount, which was accepted as a fair value.


William Stevens Fielding: The money has been paid?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes.


William Stevens Fielding: There was no judgment of the Exchequer Court?


John Dowsley Reid: No.


William Stevens Fielding: And evidently there was no report from officials of the department. One wonders-if there is any longer room for wonder-on what basis it was decided that the price was fair.


Mr. MORPHY:: I would call the attention of the minister to the lack of train connection at Toronto on the arrival of the train leaving Ottawa at night for Toronto on the Canadian National railway. The Grand Trunk trains for western Ontario leave a short time before the arrival of the Canadian National Railway train from Ottawa. In this way passengers for western Ontario lose a day which they would save if arrangements for connection were made. I trust that the mention of this matter in Hansard will reach the management of the Canadian National railways and that these complaints will be considered and some remedy provided.


Mr. McKENZIE:: Reports come to me from that section of the Intercolonial between Point Tupper and Sydney in regard to the condition of fences. It is said that the railway fences in this 90 miles of line have been allowed to fall into a bad state, and the farmers are in danger of having their cattle killed. I trust that the minister will bring this matter to the attention of the proper authorities for necessary action.


John Dowsley Reid: I will look into it.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I notice, in looking through Hansard, that last night the minister is reported as having said, in reference to some of these items, that there was an agreement between the Prime Minister and myself that they would pass. My hon. friend must have 'been misinformed. At no time did the Prime Minister speak to me in regard to the Estimates, nor did I speak to him. There was no understanding of any kind between us.


John Dowsley Reid: I understood from the Prime Minister that the non-contentious items were to be passed, and it was my impression that there was an agreement


REVISED EDITION. COMMONS
[Stage Direction]
to that effect with the leader of the Opposition. However, I must accept my hon. friend's statement. The error was mine, and I apologize to him for having made the statement.
George Green Foster: You got the
items through.


Mr. DECHENE:: A few days ago my attention was called to the fact that freight trains at Montmagny, going east and west, are obliged to stay at the station on the main line for three or four hours, owing to lack of shed accommodation. The freight shed is located on the main line, and every time a passenger tram passes the freight train has to get off the main line on to a siding, and after the passenger train has gone, the freight train comes back again on the main line. This involves considerable delay, sometimes of three or four hours. The Department of Railways, two years ago, bought a piece of land on which to build a freight sheet on the side line so that freight trains could unload there. The Montmagny Farm Machinery Company ships, on an average, eight or ten cars of freight a day, and also receives a considerable amount of freight. There is, therefore, urgent need of proper accommodation, and if the shed on this siding were built this summer, it would mean a great saving in both time and money on that line. A great deal of money is lost through the detention of freight trains in the way I have described. I draw the attention of the minister to this, and I hope he will take it up.


John Dowsley Reid: I will take it up.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Amount required to pay the Park St. Charles Company, Limited, for land occupied by the Quebec Harbour Commission, as per verdict of Arbitrator, which verdict was later sustained by the Superior Court, in favour of the Plaintiff Company, $60,000.
Rodolphe Lemieux: I object to the passing of this item. This is another land grab absolutely unjustifiable. It is a scandalous affair, and in the interest of my hon. friend the Minister of Finance I iwould ask him not to insist on the passing of this item. I remember the saying of an old cynic who was prominent in public life miany years ago, that if at times he did purchase votes, at least he had the satisfaction of purchasing those votes with the people's money. This item is to make good the promises that were made during an election which has just taken place. The men who are interested in this land
	'	j
grab were most prominent in the election held in the county of Yamaska. Some years ago you will remember that I gave the Government a chance to reconsider an item of a similar nature. You will remember that the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Carvell) came before Parliament with an item of $223,000 for a land grab in the very neighbourhood of this park. I immediately (Sailed the attention of the Minister of Finance and Mr. Car-vell to the incongruity of that demand, or that inroad on the public treasury, and, as a result, Mr. Carvell investigated the matter, and from $223,000 that he was about to pay, relying on an award, it has been decided by the Supreme Court of Canada that the Canadian exchequer was responsible only for a sum in round figures of $25,000. . So that I make bold to say that I have saved the country, in that transaction, the sum of $200,000. I now say to the Government-and I warn the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance-that this is an item which smacks of the very essence of the one I have just mentioned. The committee will remember that there had been a case before the Exchequer Court, and the judge, in making his award, had stated that he felt obliged to grant the sum of $225,000 in round figures, because he had been unable to find witnesses to contradict the evidence of the valuators. Indeed, a few speculators had clubbed together to make up a case and to get from the Dominion treasury, the sum of $225,000. I was reminded at the time, because I brought the matter before the House, that it was indeed too bad for a gentleman like Mr. Lemieux to deal with such a small matter as $225,000, when the Government was ready to pay. Nevertheless as a result of the publicity given to the matter, the Minister of Justice was obliged to refer the case back to the Exchequer Court. New witnesses were heard. The award was reduced from $225,000 to about $23,000. That award has been confirmed by the Supreme Court about ten days ago. I say to the Government that it is nothing short of a scandal to come at the last minute of the session with another sum of $60,000 to hand over to a few speculators. What is the explanation given? It is said that the amount is required to pay the Park St. Charles Company, Limited. Who are they? I am told that they are three or four of the henchmen of the Postmaster-General. They were seen in the last election in the county of Yamaska. They were

the interrupters of my hon. friend from Quebec East at La Baie du Febvre. I repeat that if this amount is voted by Parliament, it is so paid in order to make good the promises given to those gentlemen to help win the election at Yamaska.
It is a scandal, and I am surprised that this amount has been put in the Estimates at the very last moment. First of all, how does the Quebec Harbour Commission claim from the Government payment of the land occupied by itself on that Park St. Charles? The Quebec Harbour Commission is a corporation by itself; every year Parliament makes advances to the Quebec Harbour Commission to meet its interest charges. It is not asked to recoup the capital which it has borrowed from the Dominion Government, it does not pay its interest on the capital so borrowed, and now Parliament is asked to pay for the occupation of a certain piece of land to the Park St. Charles Company. I know the whereabouts of Quebec City, and Park St. Charles is to all intents outside Quebec City, beyond St. Charles river. It is not part of the Quebec harbour, and I say that before voting a red cent of that Estimate I will stay here two days if needed.


Mr. BUREAU:: Hear, hear; so will we -Sunday and Monday.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Why does the Dominion Government pay this claim against the Quebec Harbour Commission? What justification is there for the treasury to make good the debt of the Quebec Harbour Commission for the occupation of land in Park St. Charles? Secondly, it is said there was an arbitration. Who were the parties appointed to that arbitration? Was the Government a party to it? Was the Government represented by its counsel? There was a judgment by the Superior Court. Is that a court of last resort?


Charles Joseph Doherty: The judgment was one by the Superior Court, confirmed by the Court of Appeal and confirmed by the Supreme Court.	.


Rodolphe Lemieux: There is something
very mysterious about it. This item reads:
"Amount required to pay the Park St. Charles Company, Limited, for land occupied by the Quebec Harbour Commission, as per verdict of arbitrator, which verdict was later sustained by the Superior Court in favour of the Plaintiff Company."
It is not stated that it was sustained by the Appeal Court and by the Supreme
Court, and at all events we have a right to know if the tax-payers of Canada were represented before all the courts. When was that judgment rendered by the Supreme court?


Charles Joseph Doherty: On June 21, 1920.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Was an appeal lodged by the Department of Justice from that judgment?


Charles Joseph Doherty: No. We were advised by most eminent counsel not to go to the Supreme court, and then after that court affirmed the judgment we were advised that it was useless to carry the case further. I do not think the hon. gentleman has-


Rodolphe Lemieux: My right hon. friend will allow me. He says the department was advised that the Government should not appeal from that judgment. He will remember that in the Belanger case, which I cited a moment ago, the counsel employed by the department advised that the appeal should lie only to the amount of $20,000 or $22,000, but the judges of the Supreme court were so appalled by that statement that they stopped the argument and asked my right hon. friend to send Mr. New-combe to represent the people of Canada before that court. As a result the amount was reduced from $225,000 to $25,000. I appeal to the good sense, aye, to the patriotism of members on both sides of the House. The claimants can afford to wait a few months. Parliament will sit again, and when the whole facts are made clear to Parliament, we will be in a position to judge between the Government and the claimants. But I say there is something mysterious in this case and something scandalous according to my information.
Now, Mr. Chairman, let me read this as a reminder to my right hon. friend the Prime Minister. It is an extract from a magazine article headed "The Squandering of Money," and it applies with peculiar force to the present expenditure, for we have voted millions of money in the last few days, and there must be a limit to the tax-paying capacity of the people. The article reads:
The next uprising of the public will unquestionably be against reckless expenditures of public money and the consequent crushing taxation levies. War breeds contempt for economy. Billions are spent without thought for the pockets of those who have to provide the money. America was spending more money per day than any other belligerent when the war ended. Something akin to pride was felt over the magnitude of the sums we poured out. Taxes of un-

precedented severity were paid by the public without demur or protest.
But the time has come to call a halt to reckless expenditure of the people's money. Those who have access to the federal treasury must sober up. The patriotic fervor created by war has subsided. We are entering the cold, gray dawn of the morning after. The cost of living is being found most burdensome. On top of this, grievously heavy taxes have to be met. The politicians, as a rule, have little regard for saving but a weakness for grandiose spending. The larger the "pork barrel," the happier they are. The public temper is rising to the point where it will boil over unless it is demonstrated convincingly that those in charge of our public affairs are striving with might and main to do away with wasteful methods and to curtail taxation to the lowest possible minimum. The necessaries of life would not be so impossibly dear as they are to-day were the exactions imposed in the form of taxes less onerous. Every billion of governmental expenditures means the imposition of an additional cost of a billion on the doing of business of some form or another.-Forbes Magazine.
_ I assert, Mr. Chairman, that this amount is not due. I know the value of land around that park, and it is an imposition on the good faith of the supporters of the Government to come before them with this demand in the dying hours of the session. The truth of the matter is that the country is being asked to pay the debts incurred in the Yamaska bye-election, because the men who are at the bottom of this land graft are the men who were sent into the constituency to interrupt my hon. friend from Quebec East and who canvassed the county in automobiles. Even if I have to stay here, I will not stand for this land graft, for it is a land graft. Ordinarily I support the city of Quebec, but as a taxpayer and as a representative of the people, I protest against any highway robbery from whatever quarter it comes.


Charles Joseph Doherty: Mr. Chairman, I do not propose to take up the time of the committee discussing whether there would be any advantage in not dealing with the case now, but I should like to lay before the committee the simple facts as established by the records of three successive courts, and to point out what is the question involved. I think that when the hon. gentleman has realized that he will appreciate that his discussion about land "graft" is not pertinent to the question as it arises in the position in which the Harbour Commission of Quebec and the Government of Canada now stand.
The history of this case is that the Harbour Commission did-and this is not disputed-take possession of a property be-onging to this Park St. Charles Company, or which they claimed to be their property.


Rodolphe Lemieux: How far is it from the harbour?


Charles Joseph Doherty: It is so much in the harbour, as I understand, that it constitutes principally, if not entirely, beach lots. The action was brought by the parties to recover the value of the property taken. After the case had proceeded a formal agreement was entered into to submit the question to arbitration. The arbitrator was Mr. Cyrias Pelletier, a retired judge of the Superior Court.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Were the Government
represented before that arbitration?


Charles Joseph Doherty: The Harbour Commissioners were represented. The costs of these different proceedings-I think I am correct in this-were paid by the Government. Well, the arbitration proceedings went on; the arbitrator made an award.


Rodolphe Lemieux: One arbitrator?


Charles Joseph Doherty: One arbitrator, a retired judge, Mr. Cyrias Pelletier.


Rodolphe Lemieux: The Government was
not represented, but the Harbour Commission was represented.


Charles Joseph Doherty: The whole proceeding, of course, was conducted in the name of the Harbour Commissioners. However that may be, an attack was made upon the award in an effort to have it set aside, at the instance of the Harbour Commissioners, supported by the Government. The legal officers in our department, and the best qualified of them, looked into the matter from every angle to see if there was not any means by which that award could be set aside.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Who were the counsel
for the Government and the Harbour Commissioners?


Charles Joseph Doherty: Mr. Eugene Lafleur,
K.C., represented them. My impression is that Mr. Gus Stewart represented the Harbour Commission; my hon. friend the Minister of Marine and Fisheries says that is correct.


Jacques Bureau: Mr. Stewart has been
dead three or four years.


Charles Joseph Doherty: Well, the case is a
pretty old one. It reached the Supreme Court for judgment in 1920.


Jacques Bureau: Who argued it before
the Supreme Court ?


Charles Joseph Doherty: Mr. Lafleur was the
leading counsel.


Jacques Bureau: Did he argue the case?


Charles Joseph Doherty: Really, I have no doubt he did, but I was not there. Anybody who has any faith in my veracity will be entitled to believe me when I say that there was the most zealous desire on the party of everybody connected with this department and with the department of Marine and Fisheries that no effort should be spared to have the award set aside if the thing could be done.


Rodolphe Lemieux: But what use was made of the land? What was the position in that regard?


Charles Joseph Doherty: It was embodied right into the harbour, as I have said.


Jacques Bureau: On the bed of the river?


Charles Joseph Doherty: Yes.


Jacques Bureau: And in that respect they could not assert their right.


Charles Joseph Doherty: If my hon. friend will allow me, I will come to that question. This case happened to come under my personal observation, and I endeavoured to look into it so far as I was able. The award was attacked; we invoked every ground that we thought could be invoked. The ground that seemed to us to be the strongest to justify any expectation of the award being set aside was that originally in filing their claim the plaintiffs had described their property as containing a certain number of thousands of feet, and pending the proceeding they applied to the court to increase the number of feet for which their claim was made.' That was resisted, but the court allowed the amend. ment, and when the matter came before the arbitrator strong objection was taken to his considering any more than the original number of feet claimed. He ruled, however, that he was entitled to take into consideration the larger number. The case went before'the Superior Court and judgment was rendered by Mr. Justice Dorion- as eminent a judge, it would be superfluous to say, as we have in the province. Up to the time that I read the judgment by Mr. Justice Dorion I was personally confident as to the issue, but I have to confess that that confidence was dashed when I read his judgment. However, we carried the matter to the Court of Appeals of the province and they unanimously confirmed the judgment rendered by Mr. Justice Dorion. We were persistent, and-in the teeth, I may say, of the advice of Mr. Eugene Lafleur, K.C., that we were on a hopeless quest-we carried the matter to the Supreme Court of Canada, but only to get the same result.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Exactly the same proceedings as in the Belaniger case.


Charles Joseph Doherty: I will point out the distinction between the two cases. In the Belanger case it was still open to the courts to consider the question of amount. The difficulty here is that there having been an award, unless we can find some illegality or some irregularity to set that award aside it is not possible for us to go into the question of value; all the courts have held that we cannot do that. We took advice as to making a further appeal to the Privy Council, but we were advised against taking that course. There is the position in which we find ourselves. I do not want to discuss these statements about the Yamaska election; I know nothing about them. In fact, all this was before anybody was thinking about a Yamaska election; the final judgment was rendered in 1920 before the sitting member died.


Rodolphe Lemieux: But the item comes now.


Charles Joseph Doherty: I will tell the hon. gentleman why there has been delay. The reason of the delay-and in this I am speaking of my personal knowledge-is that I felt there should be a most careful examination whether there was open to us any possible method, by means of some other proceeding, to get behind that arbitration. The hon. gentleman spoke about having no participation. I had the question, notwithstanding the decision of the arbitration, of the possibility of our attacking the title with any reasonable hope of success, most carefully gone into by the law officers of the Crown. Their report to me-and their explanation, with which they accompanied that feport, seems to me to sustain it-is that there is no reason for-


William Lyon Mackenzie King: What is the date of the report?


Charles Joseph Doherty: There are different reports at different dates.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: What is the latest?


Charles Joseph Doherty: I think I have it here.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: If there is nothing to be concealed about this trans-

action if it is perfectly open and bona fide, why was this item not put into the Main Estimates when they were brought down weeks ago? Why was it not put into the Supplementary Estimates which were brought down two or three days ago? Why is it the very last item presented to Parliament but twenty-four hours before prorogation?


Charles Joseph Doherty: So far as I am concerned, if any importance is attached to the time at which this item came down and if any hon. gentleman considers that, by reason of that, any useful purpose can be served by not proceeding now-of course, this is not my item; I intervene in this only because of the nature of the discussion that has arisen and only for the purpose of putting certain facts before this House in view of statements that have been made. I do not question that they are made in good faith, but I feel very strongly that they were made without adequate information.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Time is the essence of this.


Charles Joseph Doherty: That is a question properly to be determined by the minister vhose item it is. But I think the House and the hon. gentleman himself will agree with me that, whether this item is proceeded with to-day or not, in view of the case as it has been put before the House- as I say, I have not the slightest doubt, in perfect good faith-it was nothing short of a duty to put the facts as they are before the House and the people who are responsible for action.


Rodolphe Lemieux: My hon. friend who appeals to my good faith in the matter, will remember, no doubt, the Belanger case. He will remember that a sum of $223,000 was about to be paid. He will remember that I sounded the alarm bell; the Government took notice, and since then the amount has been reduced by the court. Let my right hon. friend, whom I am not charging with any participation in this grab-that is far from my mind-follow my candid advice to-day. Let him postpone this until next session. Meanwhile, if I do not establish to the satisfaction of any fair-minded gentleman of this House that this is a scandalous grab, I shall abjectly apologize to s the claimants in the first instance. Is that a fair proposition?


Charles Joseph Doherty: If the hon. gentleman can, in any delay which may elapse by reason of a postponement of this item, find

a ground upon which we can be relieved of responsibility, he will find what I and my officers, the officers of the Marine and Fisheries Department, and, I have reasjn to believe, the officers of the Harbour Commissioners of Quebec, have been seeking in vain for months. As I have said, the reason why this comes late is because, until we had exhausted the investigation of every possible field that might offer hope of getting free from the results of this arb.tra-tion, I and my colleagues with me certainly did not feel that we ought to put in an Estimate or ask for payment of this claim. On the other hand, when every effort was exhausted, we did not feel that we were justified in further prolonging the delay in making payment to parties who, after all, we have to remember, whatever may have been their share in the Yamaska election, have in their favour the judgments of all of the courts of this country, and some respect is due to judgments of the courts. After we have done our best to ascertain whether there is means of demonstrating error in those judgments, I do not think it can be questioned that the only open course is to submit to them. Having, however, put the situation before the committee, I want to repeat that, so far as it is in my control to say whether this item should be proceeded with to-day or deferred to be proceeded with later, I have no objection to enter, in the slightest, to the fullest possible time for examination on the part of anyone who has a reasonable belief that that examination would result in the finding of a means by which this judgment might be set aside.


Arthur Meighen: I have some little
knowledge of this item, derived several months ago. I do not remember hearing of it for some length of time. The parties to it then appeared and represented, just as the Minister of Justice has said, that the Quebec Harbour Commission had taken their property as a portion of the harbour. A map of the harbour shows-I speak from memory now, but I do not think I am very far out-that the property in question is under water or mostly under water and is largely across the river from the main harbour; but according to some law of the province of Quebec, the occupants of the harbour are the occupants of that property and must pay for it. I must say that that is not the law of our province, and the law itself I do not pretend to be a judge of; but that this property is absorbed in the harbour is and

has been their claim and, consequently, they claim damages for it. They represented that it was part of the harbour, and they took the question before a Board of Arbitration, one arbitrator being a gentleman who for about twenty odd years had been a judge of the province of Quebec.


Jacques Bureau: He could not be any
longer. That is why he was retired.


Arthur Meighen: Because he was not
a good judge?


Jacques Bureau: I do not say that.


Arthur Meighen: I do not know anything- about him. He acted as arbitrator, and he determined that, according to the law of the province of Quebec, this land had been taken by the Harbour Commission and that this land was of the value fixed by the terms of the judgment, whatever it was-I think some $50,000 odd. Counsel for the Harbour Commission represented that the Government, in the name, of course, of the Harbour Commission, because there was no other way in which we could get a hearing before the court, should appeal from this arbitration award.


Jacques Bureau: It is a corporation.


Arthur Meighen: Yes, and as a corporation it has to conduct this case. But the Government being responsible in the end is really a party to it, although it has to be represented in the name of the commission. The Government then had counsel appear, and they appealed that award. The appeal came before a judge of the Superior Court of the province of Quebec. That judge sustained the award and sustained the first judge on both counts, that they were owners of the property we had taken, and that the value was so much and we had to pay it.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Before the arbitration
who acted for the Government or the Harbour Commission?


Arthur Meighen: My information is that it was Mr. Guss Stewart in the first place. We appealed from that to the Court of Appeal, and the Court of Appeal unanimously sustained the judgment of the court below, which was the judgment of the arbitrator. There were three determinations by judges of the province of Quebec.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Exactly like the Belanger case.


Arthur Meighen: The hon. gentleman spoke long enough and loudly enough; I think he really ought to let me continue
now. I know he likens this to some other case, but that does not change this case. This case is precisely as I am stating it to this committee, and I am stating it in order that the committee may ascertain just what there was behind the vehemence of my hon. friend from Maisonneuve. Not content with that, the claimants represented that the Government had insisted on an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, had taken that appeal, and that the Supreme Court of Canada, with Mr. Lafleur acting for the Government, had sustained, without a dissenting voice, the judgment of the Court of Appeal of the province of Quebec on both counts, and that the justice Department had taken the opinion that it would only be a waste of costs to go past .the Supreme Court of Canada. They did not represent that, but on inquiry afterwards I found tnat out. They said to me: How do you justify standing in possession of our property, taking the judgment of three courts unanimously in our favour and setting those aside and refusing to pay us the money? I was powerless in the presentation of a case like that. I submitted the matter to the Department of Marine and I got a report from them to the effect that they, still did not want to pay the money, and did not think they ought to pay it, but they set up, "naturally, nothing in the way of legal argument in support of their position. However, the attitude of the department was against paying the money. I took it up with the Justice Department and found that the Justice Department was of opinion that there was no use proceeding further; indeed, that the better opinion presented to them before they went to the Supreme Court was that they would not succeed before the Supreme Court. That was the position. I never heard anything more about it, and I did not know that an Estimate would be included, though I should have known that. I did not know the item was in the Estimates. The item has no more to do with the Yamaska election, except in the mind of my hon. friend from Masionneuve, than it has to do with the election in South Africa, not the slightest. But a solution now is very close at hand.


Mr. LAVIGUEUR:: Is the minister
aware that the Director of Park St. Charles was in the county of Yamaska at the last election?


Arthur Meighen: I never heard of it. I have heard a lot about the Yamaska election, and the country will hear a lot about

it yet, and if I was hon. gentlemen opposite I would say very little about it. I was not in the county of Yamaska and had nothing at all to do with the election, although I think many hon. gentlemen opposite, including my hon. friend himself, was there.


Henri-Edgar Lavigueur: No.


George Green Foster: He was there in spirit.


Arthur Meighen: He must have been about the only one who was not, because I understand that hon. gentlemen opposite flooded the county in scores, and we have records of some of their speeches.


Jacques Bureau: You cannot find anything, and you are disappointed.


Arthur Meighen: Not very much that is of value; there was not very much in them, certainly nothing about the Liberal platform, certainly nothing about any issue that is before this House and the country.


Ernest Lapointe: Does the Prime Minister want to discuss this matter before prorogation? He is welcome, if he does.


Arthur Meighen: We are not in a bit
more hurry than hon. gentlemen opposite. This matter was introduced by my hon. friend. But no matter who was there, what I say is that the Yamaska election has no more to do with this than the election in South Africa. I say a solution is now at hand. The hon. member for Maisonneuve has said that there was fraud, that there was collusion between the parties, and that this is a land grab and a steal, and he will be able to establish it.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Like the Belanger case.


Arthur Meighen: I do not know anything about the Belanger case.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I saved you from it.


Arthur Meighen: I am not saying the
hon. gentleman did not. I do not know a thing about it. Let this case stand on its own merits. We will get hack to that other one when the hon. gentleman is tired of this one. The hon. gentleman says that there was fraud and collusion. I do not know whether or not we ought to appeal to the Privy Council. The lay officers of the Crown are the best judges of that, but if there is fraud or collusion the Government of Canada will be able to find some way to avoid paying that money. The hon. gentleman has undertaken to show it but I do not know whom he attributes it to-to both parties, I assume, and the judges too,

because there could not be fraud and the case come all the way through the arbitration and three courts and no judges find it unless they were parties to it. But where-ever it is, if the hon. gentleman establishes fraud and collusion we will find a way out and we will give him an opportunity to establish it. I will ask the Minister of Marine -and Fisheries to withdraw the estimate and we will expect the hon. member for Maisonneuve to make good the words he has stated to this House this afternoon. We will expect him to establish the very violent charges he has made, and those who have to do with the transaction, be they the bar or bench, or the parties to the case, will have a right to look to him to make good the allegations he has offered against them. A full opportunity will be given to him, and now it is for him to act.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I will forget the violence of the language of my right hon. friend and tell him that I admire his desire to serve in the present instance the best interests of the country. In dropping that item he has at last done a very useful thing for his country, and when next session comes-perhaps before-I will be in a position to establish to the right hon. gentleman and to Parliament that there has been fraud in this matter from beginning to end.


Arthur Meighen: We will expect the hon. gentleman to do it sooner than that. We would like to know, because if these people are entitled to their money they ought to have it. It is for him to establish by indisputable evidence before the department his charges of fraud and collusion in regard to this matter and we will provide the opportunity for him to do it.
Item withdrawn.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Let me congratulate
once more my right hon. friend and the country too.
Resolution reported and concurred in.

Motion agreed to, Bill read the first and second times, considered in committee, and reported.
On the motion for the third reading of the Bill.
['Resolved, that towards malting good the Supply granted to His Majesty, on account of certain expenses of the Public Service for the financial year ending March 31, 1921, the sum of $14,681,810.14 be granted out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada.']
William Stevens Fielding: There are many things that
might be said on the third reading of this Bill, but I realize that we are now only engaged in a mockery of legislation during these last hours, and so I shall not say anything further about the matter.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the third time and passed.

[Stage Direction]
Right Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN (Prime Minister) moved concurrence in the amendment made by the Senate to Bill No. 122, to amend the Civil Service Act, 1918. He said:	This is an amendment to section 2,
which consists of a repeal and recasting of section 39 of the Act. The amendment adds everything, from the words " if the Commission " onward, in the clause which I shall now read:
The provisions of any statute or regulation prescribing the age limit and physical requirements with respect to any appointment in the Civil Service shall not apply to any person with the military or naval service mentioned in subsections 2 or 3 of this section, if the Commission certifies that he is of such age, and in such satisfactory physical condition, that he is then able to perform the duties of the office and will probably be able to continue to do so for a reasonable period after his appointment.
Mr. HUME CRONYN (London) :: I should like to explain this amendment. As those who were present yesterday evening will remember, this point was raised by the hon. member for Quebec South (Mr. Power) and the hon. member for Halifax (Mr. Maclean), and as a result of an interview subsequently held, it was discovered that, through a clerical error, one half of the former section had been dropped from the Bill as drafted. That has been restored by the Senate in the amendment in which concurrence is now asked. I did not rise primarily to make that explanation, although it is perhaps due the House, but to say that in this morning's Gazette, I noticed the statement that two members of the Liberal party raised some objection to the provisions extended to soldiers. When I read that statement, it seemed to me to be an absolute misrepresentation of what happened yesterday afternoon.


Ernest Lapointe: Hear, hear.


Hume Cronyn: I have since been able
to read Hansard, and as my hon. friend from Quebec South (Mr. Power) was the member who raised this point, and I think the only Liberal member who spoke on it at the time, it would be quite unfair to him, especially knowing as I do his attitude towards the soldier, to allow him to remain under that imputation.


Rodolphe Lemieux: My hon. friend says that the member for Quebec South was the only Liberal who spoke on the Bill., The hon. gentleman forgets himself.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

After which His Excellency the Governor General was pleased to close the Fifth Session of the Thirteenth Parliament of the Dominion of Canada, with the following speech:
Honourable . Gentlemen of the Senate, Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
I am glad to relieve you from further attendance in Parliament after a Session which has been marked toy legislation of an important character.
Steps to increase the trade of the country-have been taken by the ratification of commercial agreements with France and the British West Indies. It may be hoped that the latter agreement will also result in strengthening the ties which bind together Bis Majesty's dominions.	.
Consequent on Canada's position as a member of the League of Nations, Acts have been passed to define Canadian nationals, and to authorize the ratification and carrying into effect of the Protocol accepting the Statute for the Permanent Court of International Justice.
The attempt to arrange for joint control by the Dominion and the Province of Ontario of the levels and flow of the Lake of the Woods water system having become abortive, by reason of a Bill concurrent to The Lake of the Woods Control Act failing to pass the Legislature of Ontario, legislation has been enacted declaring certain works in that system to be for the general advantage of Canada and providing for control by the Dominion in the public interest of all parts of the country having rights therein.
A Committee on Pensions, Insurance, and Re-establishment has given thorough reconsideration to these problems and their recommendations have been embodied in legislation which will make more adequate the assistance wnich the country owes to its ex-service men.
A Bill to regulate the grading of dairy produce has become law. This legislation should conduce to the more systematic and satisfactory marketing of a very important Canadian product with better results to both producer and consumer.
The Act to repeal the Conservation Act and to make provision for the carrying on by the appropriate departments of government of the necessary services hitherto conducted under the Commission of Conservation will result in a
[Stage Direction]
reduction of public charges which is so important at the present time.
A further step towards the solution of the problem of the National Railways has been taken in the passage Of an Act by virtue of wiiich possession and control of the Grand Trunk Railway System has been acquired and provision made for reviving the arbitration proceedings to ascertain the value of the stocks. A special committee has conducted an enquiry into certain phases of the problem of the operation of these railways.
The proposals as to revenue contained in the Appropriation Act will it is confidently hoped meet the necessities of the year with a minimum of burden on the people and on the conduct of industry.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
I thank you for the liberal provision you have made for the public service.
Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
This is the last occasion I shall have the honour of addressing you as my term of office wiU have expired before you meet again.
May I assure you that I shall alw'ays retain a very real affection for Canada and its people q,nd I shall watch your progress with the greatest interest in the sure belief that an ever increasing measure of happiness and prosperity will be the lot of the Dominion.
